Yes, I know it the same way. Many shop owners have physically separated networks. That's not the question and no problem. > Yet I can update any machine on my locale network everytime the buildbot > makes a new version available to apt or synaptic. I know you run a build farm. And I know the cost of a release from developer point of view. So let's ask for the other side of view - what's the difference between a snapshot from master to a ordinally rolled out release - from the user side of view? Afaik all they want, are packages to install from without compiling. So if the buildbot generates that packages, you could simply declare a snapshot to be a release. That would be a manageable job. But as I understand Andy, he does a lot of extra testing to deliver a pretty bugfree release. That's what I'm talking about and I think, that time could be better invested. > And I wouldn't have a milliseconds problem with an annual small fee to > pay for buildbot electricity and server bandwidth. I know - but users that think the same way as you don't cry for new versions or for many releases in short cycles. You help a lot to push the project ahead - so it wasn't you, that I was talking about. cheers Reinhard _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
