I don't think my statement was harsh. I run Debian on some of my servers, and always wondered why people bitched about Debian. Now I know.
Also, just because people bitch doesn't make it bad. I was voting to not build a DEB, because it appears to take a lot of work to remove all the dependencies. Instead we build an RPM (not RMP) and include everything as it is. The point is an easy install for Unix right? Or are we trying to please the Debian folks? As a final not, just because our code is LPGL, has no bearing on the binary distribution. You can take the code and do what ever you want. -dain > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Scherpbier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 6:59 PM > To: JBoss Development > Subject: Re: LONG: RE: [JBoss-dev] can't build jboss from cvs > > > Sorry to bud in here, but I think this statement is a little harsh. > I think these licensing issues that Adam raises are very > relevant to all > of the JBoss project!
