Always true for any new feature you want to use. Wait until there's a stable release with that feature, then migrate forward. > In 2005 Debian had 1200 maintainers for 8400 packages. Maintaining someone else's package in a distro is not the same as developing those packages in the first place. And 1200 people is WAY BIGGER than the geda developer community. > That is, on avarage every maintainer handles 6.3 packages. And nine women can have a baby in a month, but the math just isn't relevent. The raw ratio of packages to maintainers has nothing to do with how hard it is for a tiny team to manage multiple release/test repositories. > Sigh.

Perhaps I was not clear - it doesn't matter how much testing we do, stuff is going to break and not get found until release anyway. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
