Or build a new package from the last version? trying that is the fastest way to fall flat on your face you end up having to manage lots of change the success of gns has been driven by making it easy to repeat the steps forward - maybe it is time to expand this When we initially sat down to design the way this system was built we did the following. Rule 1: anything you do must be easy to repeat Rule 2: remember the changes you make increase the distance to your source and the work you must do for little return The smaller the delta to upstream the easier it is to maintain. If you change one thing make sure you are willing to keep maintaining that change. This informed our lack of changes and importing, had we more support we would have been open to changing modality. People are working hard on Lemote and I am wholly trilled to see this. Perhaps it is time to look at a design of a system build differently. Joining other distributions seems attractive at until you get up close, build methods are not well defined in my personal opinion, or they are not systems that are suitable for general use. So where is this all going. You tell me! ;-) Regards, Paul ___ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
