Well remember who wrote the pkg format in the first place and why they included this section at all have you checked every cobalt pkg to see if any of them do this, there are many 3rd party vendors out there who do use this method for registration. notice the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address that is standard in the pkg templates that you download from developer.cobalt for the RaQ3/4 templates anyway. I have worked with a number of developers doing packages for cobalt who didn't realize that this would be frowned upon, don't jump down the guys throat for it there has been no pkg for php for the RaQ3 until now. >I didn't knew you had done a package too. So why don't we get together >and set up a project page where we maintain a clean, up to the minute >PHP release for Cobalt RaQs including all kind of nifty extensions? > >Greets, > >Andres Andreas seems a nice guy after all no one else did a package for the RaQ3 and released it we should all be working to encourage this activity for some people it is the only way to install software on to their RaQ not everyone wants to be a sysadmin geek and for some it is convenience to know that it is tried and tested. Personally I support Andreas though I don't know other than through the list, I applaud his effort and hope that with encouragement he will remove the registration and continue to develop pkg's for all. His mail above certainly shows that commitment. I thought as a group we should encourage not blast someone's efforts. If anyone feels they should flame me for this then please do so to my address not to the list.
