I would suggest that VCSen are for developers, packagers and advanced users, most end-users need binary packages they can run not source packages or VCSen, which are for development/packaging. Upstreams that want to cater to end-users can distribute prebuilt binary packages separately, in separate branches, zip/tarballs, binary packages or "app" installers. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
