Hey Erast, <excuses> I'm in IRC on and off (but mostly off right now) as rootard. I'm glad to lend a hand but I'm still trying to get my house ready to sell in this market and move across the country (and find another job) so my time is really stinted. </excuses>
<self-contained project idea> One thing that would really help is a tool that looks at available sources and defines(outputs) what is not built(available) and can be built according to installable build dependencies. If there is something that does this already out there then it would be better to use that rather than build something new. The only way I've figured to do this is download the upstream source package and try to build it. apt-get build-dep <source> can also lead to good results but doesn't always ring true. </self-contained project idea> I think this would really help in getting simple things built. As a builder, most of my time is spent walking down dependencies in order to get something built. -Tim Erast Benson wrote: > Andrew, > > Right. LTS 2.0 is out.
