There is no system in place to publish a list of known good revisions for people who are trying to get real work done. Currently, I'm stuck because guile won't build. (I also see the samba issue, but dropped it from gvfs). I've been around a long time, and there are still some build issues that stump me. Personally, I need this stuff to work so I can get stuff done for paying customers. I don't care if recipes are perfect, or we have the latest version of everything, something that builds reliably on a number of build machine distros is what we really need. Philip
