Actually, no worry about that, all you are expected to do is to report that things gone wrong. Fixing bugs is not a primary task of linux maintainer. Providing (and perhaps maintaining) makefiles/.deb/.rpm is the point...



I thought you worried about regression problems on Linux, as the one I stumped on... creating makefiles/deb/rpms is just a question of scripts running daily, but I don't see the point of providing a linux deb/rpm that is too buggy to be useful.

You mean that with UVS you can't go back to a previous release ?

Local repository is default for uvs - one of few advantages we do not like to be abandoned.... exactly for this reason.


Well, you can do that mirroring a svn repository too, that was what I did with cvs and wine. Of course, cvs had too many other problems, but svn does a quite good job.

In conclusion, IMHO, the big Linux problem for now is not a lack of ready-to-use packages for devel releases (getting the soft with uvs/svn is quite simple, and using stable release to compile it is even simpler), but open bugs of linux version that makes it useful only for testing purposes.
