Sorry, it was not me who brought this discussion here. And it was Yuv who was "annoyed" and accused me of demanding things, which is totally nonsense in this case. I didn't demand anything, I expressed my disappointment with the politics regarding windows binaries. There was no point to bring the "If you want to have binaries, compile them yourself" sermon again. And this "Contribute something before criticizing" sermon is plainly silly and ignorant. Why do you guys make it so hard for someone to simply test or recommend hugin? Why this raised forefinger and this teacher's attitude all the time about what open source software is and what not? Don't you see that this sounds arrogant? Even worse: It might sound as if hugin developers don't want and don't like their users. You complain that there where no windows testers. There are lot's of people willing and wanting to test hugin and to supply bug reports - me included (perhaps you noticed: I supplied one shortly after the binaries where available). But most windows users (me included) won't go through the hardships of compiling hugin to supply a bug report. And if I supply bug reports I want to do it for a software "as is", not for something where I don't know whether I introduced the bugs myself... best regards -- Erik Krause http://www.erik-krause.de -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
