Kevin, We may be opening too many battle fronts at once.
How about the following baby steps: - you release a version of X11RDP-o-Matic that is able to easily build latest git, one the beta version is stable - we all test a pre-release of 0.7 using your newly release X11RDP-o-Matic - once we are all happy with it (stability + news features) Jay can build binaries using X11RDP-o-Matic ? From this we'd have: - an easy to use building system - a first release of xrdp built using that system And from here we could move on to newer stuff for 0.8, including things you are suggesting. What do you think? My opinion is that we need releases from time to time, and while I understand that the building system is not perfect it just got A LOT better with X11RDP-o-Matic. We don't need to wait for things to be perfect :-) to enjoy what's already available. And if we want to change everything at once it will takes months before something is released.
