I'd disagree on that one. If you take that view, there're already too many variables to do good QA even with binary packages. Equally, I'd disagree with your assertion that Sun's model is necessarily a good one -- speaking from experience, it really really sucks when you find out that you just lost a few TBytes of data thanks to a bug that was already fixed in a later version. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
