In actual fact, over the course of the last ten years, the repo has been broken about a dozen times, never for more than a day or two, and of those breakages, perhaps only one has been reported on the mailing list. The reports you see on the mailing list are always "user errors". The one from two days ago is infuriatingly egregious. The user apparently didn't know what gcc was. What can you do with people like that? From their point of view, its all very broken, but that is not the reality. The only viable audience for opencog, at this time, are developers with extensive knowledge & interest in AI. College students, even grad students, encountering Linux and programming for the first time in their lives, and struggling with it, do not count. A class or two in java programming does not making one a programmer. Working with software is like playing the piano. Anyone can do it. You just hit the keys, and sounds come out. --linas -- *"The problem is not that artificial intelligence will get too smart and take over the world," computer scientist Pedro Domingos writes, "the problem is that it's too stupid and already has." * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
