Hey, I like that you are always so constructive :-) > I could think of setting up someting > which automatically creates debian packages from the current > code (stable and testing WM branches if we decide to stick to > this naming) and makes the results available so that people can > simply apt-get them. But isn't that a bit overkill? I think we need to encourage people to test these little tweaks that happen over time, and we could encourage them to do it themselves. With my procedure of the previous email, people can test and reply without pain. If they need to wait to download an automatically built package that would make the "does it fix for you?" kind of thing a bit inefficient, IMHO. And iirc, that happened last week. I think it was Paul who reported one problem, Daniel proposed a patch and I haven't heard back from Paul. I tested it and I reported that the problem was fixed, but it would not hurt if more people also tested it and reported back to the list. But I don't want to be not-constructive :-) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
