But I do. Exposure is the one key issue, which will, amongst other things, keep Fink alive and kicking. The fact, that Fink really is a two part effort (package manager + all the packages) has never really been shown to the better of the users. Freshmeat is often visited by developers, much less by users, at least that is what I could learn in my personal experience over the years. Someone might be interested in simply developing for the package manager without installing the whole "distribution".
Yes. First off, the package manager never was announced widely, and there is no reason to do so with this release. I am not sure if we should announce it *anywhere*, but IMHO at most on the mailing lists and at our own web site.
I give a damn on being on the front page of freshmeat, to be honest.
However, I do not quite see why we could not release it as a separate project. It shows, that we are gaining popularity by the moment we are exposing ourselves. Reading over the stats for the project that shows clearly.
Furthermore, I see no point in making daily snapshots. What would be gained by this over just injecting a cvs checkout?That you have a time frame. For example "do not check in a highly volatile patch before 10pm, because it might break the whole app. The snap is made at 10:30pm thus it ensures, that the daily snap is "stable".
Anyways, it is not necessary, it was merely a suggestion.
In fact, I see no reason to wait till friday with the release as you requested <shrug>. I can release today, or tomorrow, or saturday, not friday, but where is the point in waiting?Wendsday and Thursday are never good release days, because they are in the middle of the week and people tend to get very busy. The news editors and news site also accumulate a lot of news from the weekend to about Tuesday, Wendsday. There are also various acclaimed studies which seem to show that middle of the week announcements are treated less interested than end of the week or start of the week announcements. Thus, out of a very old habit I try to keep it that way.
The second and much more interesting reason is, that I was away from Thursday to Tuesday on a business Trip. I did not bring my Computer, so I need to catch up. Both on my work accounts and Fink.
Thanks for the quick reply :)
