Won't work. There is no guarantee that the ARC'ed tools will move at the same speed as KBE/KDE may require in the future, and introducing yet another nightmare of maintaining a compatibility matrix between different versions of the build tools is something noone should have to deal with. Updating something in cvsdude and then doing a svn up is likely to be much easier to handle, for both maintainers and consumers. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc.
