I doubt that defining an API for non-GAR is going to make any difference. Those not using GAR probably does so because they have invested heavily in their own methods of doing stuff. The problem is probably not GAR itself but getting them to do extra work when their current method works. If they could/wanted to spend time doing something different I think they could convert directly to GAR instead. This is based on what I thought before starting to use GAR myself and also why I still have one package not converted. > I have a question about the buildfarm setup.

I see that you have started http://wiki.opencsw.org/buildfarm-setup, Dago already has this page: http://wiki.opencsw.org/buildfarm. -- /peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
