So what is wrong with that? I guess, that's almost true for most users of linuxcnc On Donnerstag, 11.

That taken for true, I believe, that there are many users, that won't upgrade. On Donnerstag, 11.

And if they really NEED that frequent updates, are they willing to pay for it? I'm sure, Andy and others already spent lots of hours in extra release issues and I'm not sure, that this effort is appreciated by "default" users. Most (if not all) developers are volonteers, who spend their leisure time on project. Time is very very precious - for everybody. So why waste that precious time on shady subjects like release? May be academic people think different - don't know. Sometimes I get the impression, that they don't know/care about the value of time. To me, linuxcnc looks like an academic research on "how to extend obfuscation by being usable anyway" - so why not put manpower on that issue? If the source would be readable, more developer would likely jump into the game. cheers Reinhard _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
