Opinion noted. Still, *something* has to drive the process, and if that something can do more than one package format without having to write - and maintain - a lot of custom scripting, then there's at least something worth discussing there, given the recent project resource availability discussion here and elsewhere. I can't see how burning developer time creating a packaging tool is a smart use of resources when there are so many other things that need doing far worse. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
