The catalyst changes would make catalyst unusable for anything *other* |
| 30 |
than creating a LiveCD. On my machine, I actually have 3 versions of |
| 31 |
catalyst currently. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
catalyst - vanilla catalyst 1.1.10.10 |
| 34 |
catalyst2 - a catalyst 2.0 snapshot from today, being tested currently |
| 35 |
catalyst-livecd - my hand-hacked catalyst |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
At any rate, it has nothing to do with open source. I'm not giving out |
| 38 |
some kind of "binary" version of my hacked catalyst, so there's no |
| 39 |
requirement anywhere for me to give out anything. Most of the custom |
| 40 |
code is being slowly cleaned up and put into something usable, which |
| 41 |
will be released in catalyst 2.0. The "problem" is stemming from people |
| 42 |
that cannot accept that I won't put out shit code *now* and refuse to |
| 43 |
wait until it is released code. |

There's nothing special about the spec files. They look just like any |
| 50 |
other spec file. The "butter" is in the fsscript.sh, along with the |
| 51 |
catalyst changes. |
