Hello, Following the pre-beta3 release for Windows, wouldn't it be useful to have a similar package for UNIX (or more precisely, a ".tar.gz" package of the SOURCE)? Such a snapshot, of course AFTER applying the autoconf and all the other required builds, may add many other users and testers to the process, and help the development to find more bugs and/or problems. Even users who are familiar with CVS and autoconf etc., sometimes are afraid of loading a broken mid-version and a snapshot which is done in a "good" time may encourage them. It is also common with many Open-Source projects, including Apache ( http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/apache-1.3/ ). Of course, contrary to some of these projects, I don't mean an auto snapshot generation but choosing a time when the CVS version is not too unstable (more or less), and building a .tar.gz file ready for configure and make. Is it possible to do? Maybe even today? [In case the "final" beta3 is planned for the following, let's say, 24 hours, this snapshot is not relevant, of course, and I apologize in advance if this is the case]. -- Eli Marmor marmor@elmar.co.il El-Mar Software Ltd.
