(In reply to comment #13) > I am certainly not to be hold responsible for any private fork of the code > base. Everybody is, of course, free to do so. IntelliJ IDEA, Hudson and DSSH > all have their proper reasons to use a private fork (btw: unfortunately, they > never came up with a feature request). The natural workflow for a OSS developer is: 1. find an issue in some project 2. checkout latest codebase to see whether it is not fixed 3. fix the problem for the latest codebase 4. send patch to the projects issue tracker (bugzilla, jira, mantis, whatever) Note that steps 2-4 are not possible for ganymed-ssh2. I know we can contact you in person and we have done that but I have to admit that these are things that will make a lot of people not consider it an opensource project resulting in them not trying to submit a feature request or patch. Please tell me if I'm wrong and I didn't managed to found these things on the site. > > Again, if there is any crucial feature missing in ganymed-ssh2 that is needed > by some package in the Redhat tree then I will happily add it to the stable > ganymed-ssh2 code base. As a packager I can show several things that are present in orion and missing in ganymed: * a source only tarballs - saves us the work to remove binaries from it * build files - saves us the work to compile manually * pom.xml file - saves us the work to come with our own for maven integration Don't take this as bashing ganymed I respect your work as the original author but the guys from orion has done the integration work to make trilead suitable and easy to use for bigger audience. In short everyone will win if you guys manage to join your efforts in one really opensource project. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
