With the greatest of respect, of *course* you don't see why people shouldn't compile their own source - you're C programmers! This is rather like listening to a discussion by marathon runners saying they can't understand why everyone doesn't run to work. For my own part, there are some programs I am comfortable compiling and some I most certainly am not. It so happens that CVS falls in the former category (now), but I can certainly sympathise with people who put it in the latter. At the end of the day, people choose to install binaries for one reason: because if the program fails to work, then you know it's nothing you have done. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
