Are you sure it isn't you who misread a message? Try re-reading the
above quotations. I said "GAR might be considered a separate software
project, but the builds themselves are code using GAR, they aren't GAR
itself. Don't the builds seem belong to the OpenCSW project rather
than GAR?". Take a minute and re-read it, please.

Yes, I wrote essentially the same statement at Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at
5:05 PM ("GAR might be considered a separate software project"). Why
do you need to say it now? :-)

Agreed, no idea who might be saying that.

Fair enough. Look at a file that I wrote[1], and which uses GAR to
build CUPS for Solaris. Why deny that this file belongs to OpenCSW?
(You said that GAR builds don't belong to OpenCSW at Fri, Aug 28, 2009
at 5:05 PM)
