Re: Utterly painless arch?

Hi All,

I've been lurking on this list for several months, watching as arch has been
accellerating.
I am a very simple user of CVS.  I have a score machines in 4 locations with
about 50
critical source code directories.  Each application controls hardware (think
motors and data
acquisition systems), fixes are done on location and synced to other
locations with similar
hardware using CVS and a central repository.  As a CVS user I have only ever
used import,
checkout, update and commit commands (well init as well but that was years
ago).

I still have only a basic understanding of how branching works.  I
understand is conceptually
mind you, but don't have my hand on how to use it at work.

Scaling down is a very important concept.

John

Oh no.

I must have been terribly unclear.

The foad was addressed to M. Flacy, and not Tom, indeed!

Now i`m not even sure if i can talk proper english anymore.

A second person understands me in exact opposite of what i meaned.

Note that my mention of Nadim.

My message was:

Tom: i like your posts. i feel compassionate with the point you express.
     i think the problem you raise is very real. i`d like to hear more.

Mark: You are wrong by attacking Tom in the way you did. %$&^$% !

bUSH is in deed stupid. But please, don`t make the mistake of calling the rest
stupid, for they are nowhere near to that. They even have ideology behind them
-- that was one of Tom`s points as well, if i read him correctly.

What is lackin in this discussion, i think, is a thorough research and analysis
of the goals these individuals seek to achieve.

Ever heard of the "Clash of civilisations" concept?

I`d kindly suggest you to attempt to see gnu-arch-users as being what it is,
as opposed to something you want it to be :-)
