Sounds not so easy to me. ..no, but it's possible to shag in meteorologists here, best way is polish the build-from-source scripts and expand them beyond Debian and ubuntu users, most people are still using Wintendo, and today we only offer them the binaries, and the big scare. ..even if we have a sizable GNU/Linux crowd in e.g. yr.no, we don't wanna scare them off with POSIX sh, cvs, svn, git, gcc, autotools, cmake _etc_, I want them diving right into the FG weather model source trees and give us clue whacks. > But...
