Summary: Review-Request: libzdb - Zild Database Library https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456955 ------- Additional Comments From fedora@xxxxxxxxxxx 2008-07-30 16:30 EST ------- I don't understand where you guys got the label of "drive-by" submissions. I am a serious developer and I am NOT trying to gain any personal mileage by what you call "drive-by" submissions. I like Fedora and I am trying to improve the availability of packages on Fedora. I believe the only problem at that time with the Haskell packages was that I could create a lot of packages but did not know that we need to submit SRPMS as well. If I had known that I needed to sumbit the SRPMS as well, you wouldn't be labelling like this today. I am in the process of recreating a lot of those packages, and this time I am checking them with rpmlint, running a Fedora Rawhide virtual machine to create install and test, and then upload them to this bugzilla. If I were you, I would be glad that someone documented the actual steps of creating the Haskell packages for a lot of packages that other developers use on other distros, but not on Fedora. At least if there was another developer searching for a specific Haskell module on Fedora, he/she could come to this bugzilla and follow the steps I had listed to get on with his/her requirements. I don't understand why everyone at your side took so much offense to those submissions. Of course it would have been nice if I had retained all the SRPMS and uploaded them with every one of those emails in the first place, but I must accept my lack of the knowledge of the guidelines at that time and am continuing to face this denigration. And guess what, the little of what Fedora Haskell packaging guidelines were supposed to be were not even in place, and I an not certain if they still are at this time. So if we all want to get on with the goal of improving the availability of packages for Fedora (which I am sure both of us do), then let me submit the packages, and I promise I would follow your feedback. This is irrespective of whether you accept the packges for upstream, because having that knowledge documented somewhere would serve as a reference for someone else later. Unfortunately the only place to do so is this bugzilla, AFAIK. I do very much appreciate the good work the people on the Fedora team is doing and I do value your feedback and criticisms (no offense taken). -Rajesh Krishnan -- 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, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
