Freshmeat Latest Updates

Improving The Software Distribution and Deployment Process http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/720

A more defined process is needed for development, distribution, and deployment of software. Specifically, we need to revise the current process which makes the end product of software development an archive file (gzipped tarball, Debian package, zip file, etc.) which is distributed on a CDROM or downloaded through the Internet via FTP or the Web and finally installed and configured. Software development, distribution, and deployment is a group activity carried out through collaboration over the Internet; it should include application developers, component developers, software users, and software testers, auditors, and reviewers, among others.

Moreover, traversal access to every key are provided, but the order is arbitrary.
