Comment 5 for bug 205364

shouldn't this be a feature by default, like in feisty and gutsy?

I like to see progress in ubuntu. I don't want to make it so easy for
new users that it becomes a joke for power users but I certainly don't
think that requiring new users to edit source code, then recompile, to
_get_back_ a feature that was previously there, is a good way to move
forward for the project.

I understand this may be partly down to the emerald developers also, but
the final say lyes with the ubuntu repo package coordinators.

having the convenience of a repo is one of the things we as linux users
boast about to our window$ friends. they should _just_work_. compiling
should left be for bleeding edge games and stuff that is not in the
repo's - especially for new users sake's.

this is ubuntu - linux FOR HUMAN BEINGS. If you I wanted to compile
everything I'd use gentoo ;0)

hope this make's sense, and clarifies why I believe this should be
merged back into the repo version as soon as possible.
