Brenton I agree, but not with the idea, that everybody should make his own fork - thats a total wast of time and energy!!!
Lets try to clear things: one questions to panksos server - is there anybody, who has root access? - I could bite myself in the butt, because pankso offered me root access and I just said later, because I had absolute no time. when I look the mails of the last months, I see a very interesting offer from Martin, who owns www.slitaz.eu: "If you need a dedicated host for an alternative clone of server content let me know ill be happy to set it up for the slitaz community here i got a 100Mbit fiber connection and a server up and running. Sincerally Martin "Ztealmax" Svensson" That does not sound bad? - Martin - would you have space, if all devs agree, to host a new tank server? Perhaps is just good to leaf the tank of pankso just how it is now? Christopher has an own wok-tank cooking branch with kernel 3.? (if I remember well) http://godane.wordpress.com/ - somebody else something simalar? would this be an accepable start for the new release? I hope I do not step on somebodys legs, I am no dev, I am just a user, who thinks SliTaz should continue and we need a working new release I think, it is time to make decisions Thomas Am Tue, 8 Nov 2011 10:45:01 +0200 schrieb Brenton Edgar Scott <[email protected]>: > Whatever the reasoning, we have to make a choice. > > I have a general reasoning about things like this.
