Hi list, As everybody knows, there are not many new users coming at this moment. But sometimes we do see new users, such as http://forum.foresightlinux.org/index.php?topic=867.0. And the most frequent scenario that happens is like this:
Q: Is foresight still alive? A: Yes. But only for devel/qa branches. Q: OK. But I met a problem (example: and http://forum.foresightlinux.org/index.php?topic=869.0). A: You need to install the foo and bar packages from the qa branch. Q: ... (system is messed up) What I have been thinking is that, having the 2.1.x releases available is actually hurting us. It presents a false impression about foresight to the new users. Users got a broken system (esp. about hardware support); and there is no way we can fix the problem for the user; and user thinks foresight packages are all old and one needs various tweaks to make it work. What I propose is that, we pull the old releases down from the website, and put the qa images there, along with a warning that "Foresight is still alive, but there is no releases recently. If you want to have a try, use the qa images at your own risk."
