Roger! I've added a comment to the CAS ticket for 1.4 which is a problem I ran into as well (hacked around it temporarily by adding an export from matterhorn-kernel, but I *know* that's not the way to really fix it.). Only part of this stuff is knowing how to hack X up to get it do to what you want, the other part is doing it right. :) I'm used to OSGI-ish, because of Eclipse, but hadn't messed much with Felix before. What is the state of automated building and distribution? I saw a blog post on using Jenkins to build MH, but it seems like a lot of testing is done manually? I don't know what is happening in this area, but if we want to squash bugs, as much testing as possible should be automated. I'm stoked to see a repo of binary RPMs! I'm not sure how they are being built -- I've been using Ant to generate RPM and DEB packages of late and it works pretty good -- if the RPMs are generated w/Maven, I could take a look at adding DEB packaging at some point... Eventually I'll start a thread about this stuff too. :) >> And what do folks think about tooltips in the UI? > I think they're a great idea when they provide useful information. We > have some.

As I get more familiar with the code, I'll be able to help more, but it will take a bit... I'll work my way up through adding tickets and patches and stuff. Pay dues, get the lay of the land, etc.. :) :Denny -- That state of life is most happy where superfluities are not required and necessities are not wanting.
