Yeah, I was never happy with RC. So now I only use the packages in Debian unstable. I don't use RC, but I can sympathize that Ximian's practice is aggravating. However, there haven't seemed to be any posts detailing why RC is a requirement, nor many asking for that policy to be changed. You may be out of luck, as far as non-RC use is concerned.This is no official line, particularly because this is simply the evolution list, but my guess is that using RC makes the product more supportable. Because there are so many disparate distributions and package collections out there, using RC gives Ximian some control on the quality of the product, which they are selling.
I can see that and I'd understand if Ximian delivered support for RC based installs only. Fine with me. I don't see why I'm not allowed to download though... Anyway, I finally got my hands on a Suse rpm (thanks!), set it up on my sid-box without much of a hassle and it's running nicely. I'll shut up now... :) At least till the next update... :) Cheers, Markus -- Markus Irle Software Competence Center Hagenberg GmbH Softwarepark Hagenberg, Hauptstrasse 99 A-4232 Hagenberg, Austria Tel.: +43 7236 3343 856 Fax: +43 7236 3343 888 If you torture data sufficiently, it will confess to almost anything. -- Fred Menger
