"the unix way" is to have small tools which do one job, and do it well.

IMHO, garnome's 'one job' is building the latest releases into a usable
system, with as little interaction as possible - which is does well -
thanks Jeff!

We already have jhbuild </cvs/gnome/jhbuild> to build bleeding-edge
releases from CVS, and I'm told it does it's job well also.

So why blur the two adding so many complications (and a lot more work -
I don't believe CVS is currently supported in the gar ports system)?


BTW, you may like to check out

Which describes one person's experience combining garnome and jhbuild to
serve his purposes.


Just my two cents, Shaun.
