Another question will be WHY in sourceforge? They have their own .net site for windows developers. But they have one thing in mind. I think they want to encourage open source developers to port 'applications' as they're giving away their windows installer code to make it simpler.
One project for example is an installer for Apache, PHP, phpmyadmin, mySQL, python installer for windows (win32). Isn't that nice? :)) I myself one of the thousand users of these simplified installer. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The site further states that "The toolset supports a command line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM setup packages." The question is, how useful is such a toolset for the open source community? Why can't Microsoft opensource something more substantial, like vc++6, kernel32, gdi32, user32, ntdll, etc. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> They won't do that. What? Kernel32 source code in the net? If they do that... they'll be in BIG trouble. Lot's of 'coders' a.k.a will try to find holes from it. There are number of guys in the open source community are anti-M$ so that will not be a good idea and beside it's their Proprietary code. --ran -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
