[Simplygnustep-announce] The Future....

[<ceh...@ma...>]

In order to facilitate rapid, easy, and collaborative development, I'm 
restarting development of SGstep from scratch.

The goal is to use the CVS services from Sourceforge to have a complete 
and automatic source-based distribution.
Right now I'm doing all this stuff by scratch and it'  hampers progress 
considerably

Using the above system means that:
1.  you can download the source form cvs, type make, and the system will 
build the iso image(s), including building RPMs.
2.  Porting can be possible
3. Contributions can be easily made.

Basically you'll DL the CVS source, type make, wait about 24hrs (really) 
and out will pop an iso image.  if you encounter a problem while 
compiling, simply fix it and upload your changes to via CVS.
Note that you need a separate partition to use this method because the 
process is
1. build
2. boot into new build
3 complete building

Note that this partitioon will have to be several *Gigabytes*,I'm 
thinking at least 4GB, so you may want to entertataing buying a new HD 
if you plan to contribute.

Of course pre-built ISO images will still be made and available for DL!


Thanks!
