There is some news that has been gradually percolating around the 
community that is relevant to this discussion. Recently, there has been 
a lot of co-development work happening between Solarspeed and Compass. 
We have started working smarter, not harder. Wherever there is a package 
that we both make, we will retire one product to reduce duplicate 
development efforts.

We have also done some core Blueonyx changes to make PKG installation 
more relable in general, and corresponding enhancements to NewLinQ.

Many of the Solarspeed packages are now available via Compass. I had 
actually overlooked the PHP package, so my apologies for that. I will 
need to do some work in the near future to make that happen.

There has also  been a lot of progress on the WHAM installer with a lot 
of new and updated modules available, an improved build system to 
deliver more frequent updates, suPHP integration, and lots more.

Stay tuned...

Regards,
Greg.
