It does what I need, to split the tarballs/zips up. Also, another patch I sent, earlier, contains some miscellaneous patches.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but true believers in the free software doctrine could be compared to commies, in theory. > It doesn't work like that here.

I haven't had troubvle figuring out how, it's just I haven't been motivated to do so. When I have tried to contribute, it's been ignored, or blasted for being moronic. That doesn't make me want to continue. > > Is jboss-dev not a user list? Isn't discussion on this list a > > form of giving > > back? > > jboss-dev is not a user list. It is a jboss contributor list. So, one can't answer questions on jboss-dev, and be considering giving back to the community? After all, jboss has a community of developers, and if I can answer some other developer's question, we all benefit. > Again, you get what you give. You're in a sea of good developers here.

Yet it's been ignored. Also, on a side note, I asked several mails ago(not this thread), for a nice, 80 char by 3-5 line description of jboss. A nice, easy to understand description, not filled with too many acronyms and buzz phrases. The content on the jboss website is a little wordy for me to try and condense(I've never been good at marketing). Also, as to the status of the Debianization: I am close to making a public, as it were, release. I've switched both Ean an another internal developer to using my debs. I'm currently working on automatic postgres installation/configuration(few minor tweaks left). apt-get install jboss jboss-jdbc-postgresql, and you'll have a PostgresDS, HypersonicDS, and DefaultDS(that uses postgresql). Without jboss-jdbc-postgresql installed, DefaultDS will use hypersonic. It's all rather slick. I haven't released publically, because as I tweak stuff, upgrades between my internal versions might not work, so I needed to keep a tight reign on the files. Soon, however, soon. _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
