They are all also binary distributions and have complete control over the content they decide to include in their systems. They also only have to spend developer mindshare on exactly one version of each application per release. This is quite a bit easier than the multitudes of versions we have of some applications in the portage tree. I tend to agree that this is a waste of time that could be better spent elsewhere, at least in its current implementation. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux --=-MFKAvLPzrLQNNiRsKFqz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/OstekT4lNIS36YERAi9jAJ9WmFpCjfx+rtRIYyJI4Wt3EsNapwCeJWyJ h/CFcSXRa5JUZhhnHPWP6hU= =L5cM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-MFKAvLPzrLQNNiRsKFqz--
