I haven't had time to look at the proffered link, or really think about this in any depth, but I like the idea of nightly (or maybe weekly, in our case) binary builds. The usual distro package release cycle just isn't an optimal situation. Distros ship with packages based on old, buggy sources, and it takes a long time for the fixes to trickle down to the typical user who never builds anything from source. In this day and age, I don't even really *want* to see typical users building anything from source. Too many annoying questions, and too many "Linux is too hard" complaints as well. Plus it's just a lot of trouble for nothing in most cases. I typically don't build anything from source either, unless I have some compelling reason. Thanks for throwing the idea out. We'll chew on it. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
