yes... if it is just a matter of copy&paste, all the maintainability of the system become: nil... now, we want to create a process that is reproducible and sustainably in time, and not just for a bunch of people (no matter how cool is that people, they might be not here tomorrow). of course, that makes the process has it's annoyances... but we hope to improve with effort (and time, but effort first :) Esteban On Jul 5, 2012, at 5:52 PM, Igor Stasenko wrote:
As for including (copy/pasting) prebuilt binary, i am strongly against it.
We should have the way to reproduce things we use.. Otherwise how we can take responsibility for maintaining it, testing it , etc etc?
If they are not reproducible, then it obviously cannot be a part of distribution (users should download & use these binaries at their own risk and contact with original author/maintainer concerning all problems with it).
