iv'e read the arguments ! , however i'm with you on this , if we come across the same problem from various sources then it needs to be addressed and incorporated adding comps or patching is for circumstances outside the norm or to cover a one off . and not as a lot of people ( mostly programmers ) think oh just patch this and compile . if we are to get mainstream use of linuxcnc it needs to address the fundamental errors and ommisions first . so the majority of the user population who are not programmers , but actualy wish to make chips can use it , without a steep learning curve or have to ask a question on the forum or wherever . and having to get a reply to say add this or modify that , to get the basics working , and dont forget they have to figure out for example to add the lets say abs component in the first place . the more we can make it work out the box for the majority of machines the better , dont forget that linuxcnc is being used in commercial applications as well as the individual as a hobbyist , this alone will bring more users , i feel if you look back over the years the impetus of opensource has changed and we need to move with it . and always keep in mind as to the function of the software ..i.e to make chips .. programmers have a habit of making life easy for programmers , and not the fact that the majority wish to use the software for a purpose in some cases linuxcnc is being thrown out as being unusable , because people have to spend too long getting the basics working , or companys see a value against wasted time and of course in the majority of cases we hear nothing , or recieve feedback , so the only measurement we have is either the forum or the lists gauged by difficulties not by of course all the installs that go the right way or just plane sailing . can i stand down off my soapbox now ! btw this is not a critisim of anyone , just a general overall picture or as i see it fine tuning Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
