You repeat the FAQ here as if that would be an answer to my suggestion. I was aware of that FAQ. But since it doesn't mention snapshot then of course it really isn't a response to my suggestion. Sure that talks about the problem with the buildds not building everything instantly across all architectures but that is the problem I mentioned too. And so seeing it there confuses me greatly. We both mention the same problem. > But mentioning snapshot is a good idea. I'll add it later. I think it might be of help to people. I am not sure how well known snapshot is among the user community. Thanks, Bob
