Tom made some mistakes that he didn't know about, like including
Factory repository that is pre-alpha,
I only glanced at a few posts on this thread, but, has anyone mentioned that the word "factory" does not carry any notions of extreme alpha status? Has the suggestion beemn made to change the name of the directory, so the same mistake is not repeated? The disclaimers are just that, they are everywhere these days, so most of us tend to skip them, no?
No, we don't. At least not if we're not sure of what we're doing... A popular abbreviation is 'RTFM'.
You also get a big fat warning when you add Factory as an installation source stating that it is ALPHA software. But I guess that's only another dialog box that's there for users to ignore :-)
Cheers, Magnus
Actually, when I added it to my install list I DID NOT get any warning message. Had to learn the hard way. Now I'm a tiny bit smarter. Life is a learning experience.
