To be honest I wasn't a fan of rainbow a bit time ago.. But having Zero Sugar fully implemented and potential possibility to launch almost any piece of software - compile on demand is a regular workflow within 0install (existed sugar doesn't not let such possibility:), rainbow should be more then essential requirement. -- Aleksey _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
