Re: BAD: Handling of package-index by package release and install system

Stephen> No. CVS binary has different semantics from MS-DOS/Mac Stephen> binary. I think this is a dangerous idea. APA> Please explain the danger to me. I prefer not to trust that the manual explains completely what the differences are. Especially in the case of CVS; I know that the manual is very incomplete about topics like branches, and I know that the software itself is buggy. I don't like relying on such software to Do The Right Thing, when we can (and should; why are we manipulating Lisp forms as text?) fix the problem internally. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
