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.



Well, the one is to actually find out that there are bugs...
No releases, no bugs detected...

(That said, I have compiled fresh theide on Ubuntu yesterday and saw no bugs. Everything was stable.).

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.



Well, the real trouble is that as there are no releases, there is zero feedback... Too much often the problem only manifests for particular machine / windows manager etc...

Anyway, do not suppose that the issue of providing packages is simple...
