I'm not sure what has happened in the past. I just recently stumbled onto EFW. However, in reading messages on the various forums and browsing the bugs in Mantis, I got the impression that some people were dissatisfied with the support provided.
I recently spoke with Endian and I very much believe they would like to do the right thing. But it is a small company with limited resources and they've been focused on producing products to keep the company in business. They did indicate that they would be making some changes that should improve things for the community and they seem very receptive to suggestions. I think the trick is to come up with ways we can help each other, then everyone wins. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Davide Cottignoli" <davidecottign...@racine.ra.it> | To: efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net | Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 4:50:35 PM | Subject: Re: [Efw-user] Missing SRPMs | | I am in doubt that you, of the Endian Team, were not aware that some | of | the development packages were missing.
