With that particular release (of all those components), even though the
number seemed rather minor, that was merely ximian and others' semantics
because in truth, as i had said, in addition to a number of huge bug
fixes, there were also some additional features. For instance, you
could actually succeed in composing a message, a MAJORITY of the time
:P. The address book and calendar didnt f* themselves on restart and
with new appointment. The executive summary FUNCTIONED. Getting the
reasons i wanted a minor release to be updated to? I believe that
starting from the big major release (of Mandrake Linux), cooker should
be as 'on edge' for any of the slightest updates as possible. Then, be
slowly and progressively more conservative from a few mos. in to freeze,
and then on freeze we can cut it with the new progs and big upgrades and
what not. But like it has been a good while since the big new
everybuddy came out (a major release from 2 to 3) and i told the list
and on my most current system, rpm -q everybuddy still comes up with
2.something-(n)mdk. People are laggin behind because of the logistical
sh*t mandrake is wading through, for developers, lawyers, and lenny even
(heheheh). Why must debian devel kick ours (yours)? I remember when
chmouel seemed to sit at his terminal just waiting for the next ac of
2.4. Even in freeze. *sniff*. But i did not intend to provoke a flame
off here, so i'll shut up now.
(ps that is precisely the reason i dont bother to make an rpm of it
myself, it aint exactly gonna beat crozat to it. it would sit in
contribs (once it got there) until he made one himself and i would have
it removed. Bee euro cracy at its best.)
