Re: [epp-dev] Status of Galileo M5 builds

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,

the communication is not that bad... ;-) Maybe you missed an important
email from January 7th that I sent to different mailing lists, such as
cross-projects, planning-council, etc. ("EPP planning update for
Galileo"):

Unfortunately this took longer than I expected and after going a step
into the wrong direction, I think we found a p2 way to build the
packages that is easier for us (and the package maintainers). There
are still some things to work out, but I hope to have packages
available until the end of this week.
