And this way the box cannot make money at all.
What way? The way it is now, or the way I proposed?
They way it develops even now.
Releasing the box even later as you suggested will only fasten this pace.
Ciao, Marcus
Has anyone ever TRIED that approach?
Not that I know.
Since virtually no money is made on boxed sets now, what do you have to lose? Sometimes I think the real problem is too many releases with too short a life span. Maybe there should be boxed sets only for "dot two" releases.
We have lengthened the release cycle to 8 months now and will be increasingly using the openSUSE buildservice to have "up to date" packages available. Ciao, Marcus
