I know that it was not you that made that decision, but that is just wrong.=
..Simply by compiling =

the binaries on a distribution you are making them distribution specific...=
Especially Redhat, since the
7.x series contains a compiler not supported by anyone out side of Redhat...

Also, since all but two distributions use rpm as the package manager, using=
 rpm in no way makes
a package Redhat specific...rpm is actually a completely separate project d=
eveloped and maintained out side
of Redhat...

There will be very few distributions, other then the distribution that the =
binaries were compiled on, that will actually
run those binaries...

Open Source, speaks and groks source, not binaries...To be "more open sourc=
e", the information for accessing cvs =

anonymously should be right on or right off the main page (especially since=
 it does not follow the norm)...

Like I said I understand you may not be the one that made the decision, but=
 may be you could pass this along to those
on the private list who are making the decisions...(even though a list maki=
ng decisions on how to be more open source
being private doesn't seem very open source IMHO)

  Sorry, it's the Proof Of Concept committee within OSDL for the CGLE 1.0 r=
elease.



  They wanted to be "more open source" and provide tar archives of the outp=
ut and NOT be RPM or Redhat or distribution specific!

  PoC? is that an acronym or a name? Just curious was there reasoning behin=
d the decision, =


  because you lose a lot by moving away from rpms....

    Jeremy:



    The tar ball decision was one made by PoC.  RPMS are still produces for=
 validation only.



    Anonymous cvs access as well as Read-only access to non project maintai=
ners is available.

    Currently, on the build page for CGL there are only, tarballs of the re=
sulting

    binaries...A couple questions. Why are there not rpms/srpms, since that=
 is what

    the build process produces? If there is no plan to put up rpms/srpms is=
 there some

    way to get the sources used for each component and kernel that was used=
 in each build?



    Lastly I understand that cvs access is restricted to those that can sub=
mit to the individual

    repositories. Is there a way to add anoncvs to the mix so that cvs is g=
enerally available for =


    reading?



    If I am missing something please point me in the correct direction....
