So, if this is really a "showstopper" for amule, why doesn't someone fix the patch to let it not crash, then add it to a wishlist bug and ask for adding? > > > > >> it also provide some snapshot version program (just like gcc-snapshot > >> which already in ubuntu). > > > > No. gcc-snapshot is IN Ubuntu.

I don't think that many people of Ubuntu use gcc-snapshot on a daily basis. More likely is that the standard ubuntu user doesn't even care about gcc-snapshot, as many of our userbase are not caring about "newer" versions of packages. If they care, they could enable the backports repository and/or ask for backports of current developement release packages (e.g. from maverick to lucid). Users who are reading "marketing statements like" "install this, you will get newer versions and blablabla", will exactly do that, and they will whine when they try to upgrade from there release to the next. We had that in the past, and this will happen with unreflected usage of tools like this. (Please read the threads about Automatix and Friends in the past...google have references) Regards, \sh
