Please do. Even without the nightly tarballs, I don't think the requirement to have a few tools installed to build from the VCS is that bad. People who compile software from SVN should be used to this. There was also talk of rewriting the ruby scripts into any other language, preferably shell. That would make things a bit more simple. -- Jordi Mallach Pérez -- Debian developer http://www.debian.org/ jo...@sindominio.net jo...@debian.org http://www.sindominio.net/ GnuPG public key information available at http://oskuro.net/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
