right: you are locked inside a maze, there is one exit somewhere. Everyone start from the same place, eveyone benefit from the person who find the exit. We don't have the solution at the moment, You get the QA builds once we find the exit. If you finish before us let us know how you did it.
No, you have 2500 mazes, and you have to finish each of them before you can start the next one. In the meantime, other people (including the CentOS people) are getting lost in that same (but copied) maze, so you cannot help each other find the exit, until you do.
My maze is the build order (ie dependancy order of the SRPMS), What are yours? how do you get to that number of mazes?
The build order is not what took 86 days, was it ?
Feel free to coordinate, we will all profit from your coordination skills.
We don't need the coordination anymore, you have the secret now for CentOS 5.6 (and the previous builds) I am certain that if more people understood the basic problems with building CentOS, more people would be skilled to help in the next iteration.
Now every release that is closed, is a lost opportunity to attract more people.
Let's waste time together fixing something that someone may already have fixed, who wouldn't be excited about that !
Is this kind of useless discussion better?
If it would help to get more people the skills to help with the release, absolutely ! No community project thrives by keeping potential contributors ignorant.
It's only useless if there's no change.
