at digital, SRC and PRL has a 'package' mechanism.  you
could get a copy of the code, fix the bugs and then 'ship'
it and it would be installed at SRC [PA] and PRL [paris].
it was ted wobber's work.  it was kinda neat.  a bit
gluggy, but it showed the power of distributed bug
fixing.  of course, it required discipline because you
could break a lotta stuff or add in a lotta crap.
it'd never work with the linux [ab]users.
