For me it actually was an big issue. A few month ago, I had to add some additional features to mysql-5.0.x and later package it to Debian. The packaging (changing the existing package to contain the new features) took more time and was much more complex than the actual feature development (including testing the new features). > I???d suggest spending time fixing real bugs instead. Actually, that's one of my largest working areas. But not distro specific (distro packaging is always the last step in the workflow). cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: [email protected] mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
