I would just like to know how commited you are to this repo and to your<br>
backport.<br>
<br>
What you just did is basically a fork.</blockquote><div><br>I wouldn't go that far. First, he never said he was forking it...forking implies a separate branch of development. I don't hear anybody talking about adding anything except one backport right now. I don't think of a backport as a branch. Furthermore, I think it is unfair to call it a fork because that has a negative connotation of somebody who is disrupting the development somehow which I don't see as the case here either.<br>
<br>I would say this is an alternative distribution that includes some special patches or drivers. In that sense, I think it is excellent.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
So, should I commit my stable mythbuntu weekly -fixes system to your<br>
fork?<br>
<br>
I am asking, not to feed the monster, but to make my own decision.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>It's quite a valid question I think. Even if he just provides what he has, that could be a big boost while people wait for 0.22.<br></div></div><br>--<br>Mike<br><br>
