I think there's another dimension related as well, namely which 'OS' is the application targeted for (2005, 2006, sardine, herring) But then having a repository for all combinations would be rather a mess, I think. I think we've had some thoughts about how to approach the 'optimized for IT2006' issue, but not that much about stability of individual applications. I guess the implicit assumption has been that if it's published in the repository it does not have any major bugs or that those bugs get quickly fixed. -- Tommi Komulainen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
