It's not a stab. Although if you take everything personal, you might think it is. You implied that only the build order is what makes it hard. I doubt that build order is what took 86 days. But I don't know what exactly took 86 days, because the build process and the problems are closed. So this discussion may seem to you as trolling, but I cannot be more specific, can I ? Transparancy would actually make this discussion worthwhile, maybe even exciting, and solutions possible. > So where are these thousands of mazes? Well, every package that needs to be rebuild is a maze. If you require everyone to rebuild the same package and potentially troubleshoot that package, you are duplicating A LOT OF work, and you may be introducing differences in builds (due to build order) that make problems unique to a specific build. So not only would that be unworkable, it would be deliberatly harder to release sooner. All when CentOS is already doing some of that work, behind doors. -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, info at dagit.net, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
