Holger mentions "it's because the impossibility to >bootstrap etoys." but what exactly does that mean?
That looks like a quote from a post by Holger in this thread. I believe he describes his judgement of current status better in his summary included with the Debian packaging of Etoys, that I quoted earlier in same thread: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2008-November/002340.html > We had a similar discussion that covered the "security" aspect >(http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-June/015568.html and >emails around it). Can I see anywhere the responses to these from the >Debian ftpmasters? It seems those discussions took place privately between José, Holger, Bert and the ftpmasters. I have only ever seen the final decision forwarded by Bert to the IAEP list: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2008-May/000699.html I doubt there is any secrets in those emails, and TTBOMK all participants, including ftpmasters, are nice people, so if interested in the whole conversation I suggest you simply get in touch with any of them - perhaps ask them to repost to this list?
