It's not really, although if we didn't "jolly up" to do a release once in a while, we'd not get through fixing so many bugs.. It seems that many of our users (new and old) use <popular disto>, and many will only ever use the stock version of gEDA packaged in <popular distro>. One really good way to get people migrated to the latest and greatest gEDA is to ensure it is packaged for the releases of <popular distro>. As a developer, I care that gEDA users run the latest code, since all the hard work put into fixing bugs and adding features otherwise goes unseen, untested, and we're extending the feedback loop another 6 months, or a year even, before significant numbers of people can give any opinion on the work. > -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
