Ok, I'm not subscribing to xenomai-core, so I don't know if this have been discussed on the list. Yes, I didn't have done a search on the web/list about if this have been discused, I just have pointed that you are working (with a few resources, etc) to release a new version rc-6 and have done a change that break our "lazy way" of install/ compile xenomai. I don't know if others things. I'm sure that you have worked/thought that this is the best way to do the things. Now I have read the thread about it and well, it's just a normal discussions about to make a important change and the people comment. You as project leader have an idea that you think that it's good for the project, and you implement it. And other people saying, ok, if you want to do it, I will try to help... I can understand that my post have ..... I don't know the verb in english, in catalan will be "tocar-te els collons" and in english something like "touch your balls". That's not my intention, really. I also will try to help it and I will look the debian packages to solve this ... ;-) and probably I'm one this strange people that if I use a open source soft and I begin I use a release candidate to test it and try help. At least some kind of .. please could you run bla, or can you try bla ... but I'm not statistically important because I'm not showed at google ;-) Leo PS from some mail that I have read: ... sun is still shining, birds are still singing, hardware is not burning - yet. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
