- spikeb, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2ubuntu has icedtea in it as well, interestingly enough - they seem to be interested in more and more of the stuff fedora does.
- docbill, on 11/27/2007, -0/+1Sounds ambitious, but it worked out great. Strictly speaking, it wasn't really necessary to bootstrap IcedTea from git. After-all gcc was initially bootstrapped from proprietary compilers. So long as the final bootstrap is done with the open source version, and future versions can be compiled with the open source version... Still being able to bootstrap from git might help when porting to new platforms.
- mwiriadi, on 12/03/2007, -0/+1I'm a bit slow but what does that have to do with Ubuntu?
- morphir, on 11/27/2007, -0/+1what about them arch builds? :-)
- adhisimon, on 12/12/2007, -0/+0This is what I like on using fedora. Trying many new things earlier.
- ojnkpjg, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that's it's probably because Thomas Fitzsimmons works for Red Hat.
- ojnkpjg, on 12/06/2007, -0/+0I understood 'they' in the original comment to be referring to the press (or similar entity), and consequently I took the comment to mean something along the lines of, "Ubuntu's got icedtea in it, too, so why is Fedora getting all the attention?"
If 'they' was meant to refer to Ubuntu, then I parsed the comment wrong.


What is Digg?
