Well, just as mentioned in the previous thread, if you do things
this
way it means every user of any unison will have to get a useless update
everytime any version of unison in your combined package updates for
any reason. Thats pretty disruptive.
Looking at the figures:
Package Updates in last .. of which mass rebuilds
2½ years
---------------------------------------------------------
unison213 5 3
unison227 4 4
unison240 12 3
unison248[*] 10 3
---------------------------------------------------------
Total 31
Total excluding mass rebuilds = 18
Since mass rebuilds would only happen once for the combined package,
the total number of updates over the past 2½ years for a combined
package would have been 21 or 22, well under one update per month.
Rich.
[*] Estimated by assuming that we built every new upstream stable
release when it came out, but didn't have to rebuild between those
releases, except for mass rebuilds.
