[jazzplusplus-devel] File releases

[Dave F. <da...@da...>]

All,

Ok, we should make a file release.  :)  If someone wants to give up an rpm 
I'll do it.  (I can make a source tarball to release myself, no problem)

How I came to that conclusion is interesting.  :)  I started making file 
releases of pyAlarm a few months back, and it's been downloaded a lot since 
then.  Well, seems like a lot to me, but it gets 0-5 downloads a day, which 
is surprising considering it's just an alarm clock.  And I've been getting 
email (not a lot, but some) from people asking for a Windows version, and 
asking when it'll do <this> or <that>.  Still no patches submitted or 
anything, but it is a niche program.  So I think we'll do better for help if 
we make a file release.  A binary under Linux that people can download and 
execute and *see* that it works, and a source tarball so people can download 
it and screw with the code.

So, if somebody wants to give up a binary package or three, send 'em my way 
and I'll do the file release.  Having just done several for pyAlarm, I'm 
getting familiar with sourceforge's system for file releases.  I'll try to do 
at least a source tarball in the next week or so (we'll see) whether or not I 
have something binary to put up.

Dave
