Or, as it is now, wasting developer time because the 'branch' (in this case the svn overlay) is broken. Using a snapshot or branch doesn't necessarily decrease developer time, it just moves it to other areas. I agree with the fact that phase 1 will need a branch, but it isn't the magical time-saving bullet. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD4DBQFF6wqCMkyGM64RGpERAqoqAJdR3qqIs8W4iycxAqNEINUqmpoFAJ0Y0srB JSuEawnVFl54B6XBqmEOUw== =59XO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ distro-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/distro-devel
