[advocacy-discuss] Offering binaries

[Kaiwai Gardiner]

Hi,

There isn't a need to create a whole new project - but to ensure that not
only are the 'development builds' are rebuilt on a regular basis, but that
the 'stable' ones are rebuilt so that bug fixes are made available to
customers who, for example, are running 2.18 but don't want to move to the
beta builds.

For example, I'm building Build 68 of 2.18.x right now, which includes
Pidgin - this would allow those of us who want for example, Pidgin, but
didn't make it in time for the merging with SXCE, to be able to get that
update.
