Yes, an automated build facility would be great. I just wouldn't want to see us setup a contrib repository where the only way to get things into it was through the intervention of a build team member. Users should just be able to contribute a package and necessary materials and have it "show up" (perhaps after a quick manual approval by someone). -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
