Currently, we only maintain the JHBuild modulesets, and that's not great because it's not what users actually use.Users aren't using Jhbuild? What are they using? I'm asking because in our newcomer documentation we are asking them to use JHBuild. So I'm trying to understand why there is a dichotomy.
I do not use JHBuild, as I rarely need it — and when it may be needed, it feels clumsy. For 99% of my needs a ~130-line shell script [1] which sets the environment in a way similar to how JHBuild does is enough. I do not mind having to manually building a coupld of dependency modules now and then, as for me most of the time the distribution (Arch Linux) has recent enough packages.
