Also, does not Launchpad support PPA at this point, as well as on the fly test builds out of version control? I know Linaro people are using it and are quite happy about it or perhaps I'm misinformed ? It might be ahead of time to be concerned by this, but the concern Quim Gill expressed about the ability of the community to fund the infrastructure might be realized if Mer is to be adopted on a large scale... My personal experience with Launchpad is that the sysadmin personnel is *VERY* responsive and cater for rapid and fruitful distro work. Again, those concerns are only for when Mer is in massive adoption which is where we want to reach anyway? How do we pitch prospective sponsors when they ask us about Harmattan and speak about Debian in the mobile field, I think it has some success compared to others. Linaro seems to be doing well and they so far manage to gather vendors interested. Again, no trolling, just asking questions :) -Sivan _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
