They were all issues of *ENGINEERING*. *ENGINEERING* issues can be fixed. One of the issues does not even exist any longer (the diff/patch one -- it now checks they are the right ones -- and in all other respects it is *exactly* the same as depending on a library) But what really matters here is the concept. Arch has a simple concept, that works well. Others have different concepts, that work well or almost well too (Darcs, Monotone). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCWhrTRel1vVwhjGURAuGDAKCLOx+PaXOm5QSjPdFS7YEIDC3KEQCgpGSb TefGUTnMb3zLmq66isj/6co= =UUNS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
