Possibly, which is why I'd like to see this community-packaged software effort grow to include everyone. Whether that will be possible depends on how well we can accomodate varied interests in one place. > Remember these are the same applications, so why duplicate the porting > effort?

The way to make sure porting gets done once is to send the changes to the maintainer of the software package itself and make sure they get integrated. Doing so is a requirement to be imposed on all CCD package maintainers. I agree completely that it should be possible to build for multiple obsolete releases from the same source base, but that's not yet possible for the CCD, so Dennis and Steve would do themselves and their user base a disservice by disbanding their efforts before the CCD effort is viable and can meet their needs. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
