Re: debmake: a compromise?



Hi,

	I'm unsure what the process of ``bagging'' entails, but it
 sounds quite unsavory, and so could we please refrain from doing so?
 (I admit, I'm cultuaraly, umm, challenged, when it comes to modern
 english [or is it american?] idion).

	I think this happens not to be the case -- we could have the
 best of both worlds, with patience, and a bit of work.

	Quite so. But I do believe that even the best of us (outside a
 pantheon) could do with a little bit of constructive critiquing.

	Also, we do *not* want everyone coding yet another package
 automation tool *before* they come to this forum to discuss
 details. (which is the logical requirement for a discussion by your
 standards ;-) ;-)
