[M3devel] Start building RC4? Re: m3 RC

[Jay K]

Debian packages are pretty simple/portable and /might/ make sense for any target.

They are just a .tar.gz or tar.bz2 or .tar.lzma with a tiny bit of textual metadata, wrapped up in an ar file.

 You know, they are nearly the same as our portable packages.

  If people disagree, we can check for "LINUX" in the target.

Please try again.

 

Thanks,

 - Jay
