Wow... > This seems to come up after every major release.. a change is announced, it goes through the process, and then the proven developer makes the change.. and then some developer has their package changed and complains that they didn't read the announcements, they don't like the fact that proven packagers can touch their packages, and similar things. We then have a long thread war where the developer finds out how many proven packagers there are and go on a tear about how did this happen? In the past, the next step is "If you don't like it open a ticket with FESCO with a plan on how to deal with this because the mailing list is just going to be an echo chamber and nothing will be changed". I believe in the past this has led to some changes but I am not as much a developer as someone with a long memory of regular flamewars. > steved. > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
