Re: Bye bye Ubuntu!

That what I was wondering by the way too. Will this in any way affect 
how Gambas is being released? For example we had a PPA repository for 
Ubuntu and not even for Debian, for example. Because Benoit was an 
Ubuntu user. The only system that seem to support the most recent binary 
releases was Ubuntu. Will it change now?

On the other hand I don't agree that installation from source is far 
beyond the reach of normal enterprise users. Gambas is very easy and 
quick to build, I also have a 100+ machines running Gambas software, so 
centralized update server was a no-brainer, it's easy to create and 
maintain latest binary and the distribute it over Internet (and I mean 
Internet, not LAN, because my 100+ users are, like, across 3000 
kilometers from one another sometimes). To be honest I don't really need 
to do that. For example I was interested in a appimage compilation and 
tried the latest build of Gambas, but it turned out that Gambas relies 
on appimage-build package or something like that, which is not in Debian 
anyway, so the feature would not work in any case, so I am back on an 
official Debian repository's 3.15.2 and don't hurry anymore.
