In fact, I've missed Master 2.4 release on freshmeat (due to some silly brown paper bag bugs which didn't really help) but hope that upcoming 3.0 series will be useful, even if quite different. > but I am a big Alt Linux fan (because I think Sisyphus is > wonderful) Well right now xorg is being revamped quite heavily both upstream and in Sisyphus, you might want to switch to branch-3.0 (available at ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/beta/) until the dust settles. > and I'd like to continue to have access to help when I run into > issues. Just post :-) There are several team members here AFAIK. PS: maybe it's worth understanding what's interesting in Sisyphus for people not reading Russian... technically, I could understand at least some moments but community available is usually even more important: there's no perfect technology, and the downsides of some particular one are usually compensated by upsides of the community around. For one, I'd tell that some of technologies available in Sisyphus aren't unique by themselves but _are_ unique among free software. E.g. recent look at strengths and weaknesses of Trustix resulted in a thought that it's quite the counterpart -- decent marketing, but quite ancient (on Sisyphus scale, it's 2 to 4 years ago) technology in a bunch of crucial places like package build process. But it's more important to developers, especially on value-added projects... -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
