My understanding of this thread is identifying what features tla is missing or got wrong, so that they can be considered for creation or replacement. Stephens is exactly correct. When one compares two products, the two products are compared _as shipped_. Any other comparision will range from misleading to false, as "tla with this" is no longer strictly tla -- thus resulting in not performing the original intended comparison. But lets leave that asside for the moment. One of the crucial steps of development is planning what step should take place next. An easy win in this arena is comparing what you've got against what others have, and determining which things work and which ones don't. (This is called "catching up"). None of these has been advertisements. They're explanations of what flaws in gnuarch need to be addressed for _tla to win_. These are experienced, reasoned, rational and in many cases professional opinions that come from years of study in the field. By the way, most of the complaints I've seen are well recognized by everyone that has ever seriously worked on arch -- including Tom himself. The damage caused by the sophists in this channel has chased away a great many people that put their muscle/money where their mouth is. Continued sophistry will continue to excaberate these damages until there's nothing but sophists left. This is already dangerously close to reality. I suggest you consider the following approach for the next time that you think somebody is trolling: asking them "why does this matter to gnuarch?" You're very likely to get an answer along the lines of "I've observed that xx number of people migrated away from gnuarch because of it; the more successful systems are doing it this way; so on and so on". _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
