This would be really cool. :) Then at least people's changes would be all in one place for easy review instead of spewed all over the place. For instance, if we had this I would: * Put the etch builds there first * Put my kernel builds there. * Put packages that conflict with something in extras-devel already (e.g. I have mplayer builds that have jack and perhaps a few other features enabled). Right now things are just in random locations (for me and others). It would be nice to have it all unified. -Jeff _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
