The "everybody has his home-brew hacked-up script" model is just unnecessary duplication of work a brings potential for unnecessary bugs. For example, please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that if I send you a patch that would have authorship Jiri Kosina and you wouldn't notice prior to applying it using the above do.sh, I think your precious tree is gone. This would be caught immediately if it's properly maintained "project". Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
