I understand your POV, but look at what was happening with Om2008, and later with first SHR-testing images. When someone complained about something in old images, the only answers were "f*** this old sh**, install new -unstable, it's even more stable than your old -testing image". I'm sure the same would happen with your stable image (but well, thanks a lot for maintaining -testing so it's not now what it was before :)) Feel free to make shr-recommended images, or something like that. Just don't call it "stable branch", cause as far as I understood from earlier discussions, we're rather going to Debian like unstable/testing/stable scheme, instead of just releasing something, that won't work later. And... I'll be offtopic now, but I can't understand - if someone wants "stable image" to install and not touch it over years, then why for he/she bought a Freerunner? ;o (don't worry, I see making such images is important, mostly considering non-FR hardware SHR will support in future, but I think from Freerunner users we can expect more ;)) -- Sebastian Krzyszkowiak dos _______________________________________________ Shr-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-devel
