No. Ben has a problem that is not RSI, but has similar effects on his
productivity. See his .sig for an URL describing the situation. I
ok will have a look at that
another talent of mine is healing people so i will email him and see
if some of my technique's will help him with that :)
monitor build-reports and if there's something that needs
Ben's
immediate attention, I pass it on. I've told him that people have had
problems building on Unix recently, but the branch is in flux (he
plans to merge back to mainline early next week), so he just wants to
get that done early (spring break so he has time to respond to bug
reports).
cool

I believe Ben basically tests on native Windows and Cygwin with all
the trimmings. So there are probably issues with "real" Unices that
he doesn't catch, but they should be straightforward to fix.
i tried a compile of 21.5 with mule here and it built without a hitch
didnt send a build report tho maybe i should

Not really, for my use. I have a (now bitrotted) script to collect
option statistics from the header and body. For the headers, success
or failure is critical, followed by version then platform. Sticky
tag, if any, would be nice. I guess you could grep ./CVS/Entries for
version.sh. That gives a sense of the state of the branch.
Options and other details are mostly useful if you're trying to find
something "close" to a problem build.
ok cool
just another one of the radical/strange/interesting ideas that i get
a lot of them work, some of them are to radical/strange/interesting,
and others are just plain silly :)
but i think the world need more radical/strange/interesting ideas so i
will continue to have them, and some people will have use of them
