Well, I knew that I was dealing with Branko, who should know better. The response is different when innocent users hit bugzilla. > "All the other packagers of the GIMP" make money from it, and employ > people to do this type of thing, and have dedicated machines.

The situation would be different if the tools used to build the binary packages would be in GNOME CVS. That would certainly qualify the project for also using the bug tracker. But as long as people build GIMP using proprietary scripts that they don't publish anywhere, I am going to show no tolerance towards them. Sven
