I think it could actually matter for certain projects (assuming they switch to Mercurial) such as libmicro, which are cross-platform. But these complaints seem fairly spurious to me: Mercurial is easy to build on these platforms, the Python platform dependencies have not yet proven a serious problem[1], and I do not see official Mercurial packages as a prerequisite. regards john [1] of the two problems I'm aware of, both have been visible as Mercurial test suite failures _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
