If I understand you correctly, supporting Debian Lenny (Stable), in not
a high priority. A bit the contrary of "supporting every distribution
out there". The situation is currently at least confusing for a user
like me.

how is that contrary? Supporting other distro's is way below all the release work and development work as long as none of the code is mature, so -other- distro support will always be behind fixing plain bugs. There's nothing contrary about that.

As for everyone here, people are crunching on QA and the upcoming releases. I'm very sorry that we don't have a slick development platform out there for <distro>, but there's only so much we can do.

Here's how you can improve: (remember this is a community effort?)

- package the missing parts from debian if you're a debian user, submit to debian. We don't have any debian developers here in my office really. I wonder what all those people with @debian.org e-mail addresses on the mailing list could do for us?! They seem to be so vocal on the list, perhaps they have some extra time ;D.

- document the issue with <distro> in the wiki, investigate a workaround and provide instructions

- help us get through the development phase by debugging the image creator on MeeGo and make it mature, so we can move to debugging on more platforms quicker. We're not going to debug how the image creator works on <foo> if it still has lots of bugs against <meego>.

does this not make any sense? It seems so obvious to me.

Cheers,


Auke
