But I guess other people have other platforms available. I > do appreciate the autobuilder Personally I think an auto-builder is here for precisely the purpose shown, in catching architecture-release build combinations breakages. I just do not have the time to test arch * distro. The numbers add up, and I normally test x86 and x86_64 on Fedora 7. There's no reason to spend expensive and scarce human-time checking these, when a build matrix can do it better, especially when the fixes are simple oversights. I'd rather have people contributing to features and fixing known bugs and, to that end, making Frysk better. And letting build matrices build on every platform/release known to us, and linting test-cases and build issues. Regards Phil
