That someone fucks up and talks bullshit, that's
to be expected from a human being.
But that's something entirely different than malice.
In January 2006 I got told that I should implement the xc3028 just as
all other external tuner modules are implemented without a tuner-core
dependency, it end up that the tuner-core would need modularization
since all external v4l tuners are compiled into the tuner-core.
Markus,
I suspect the other person gave the best advice they could at the time.
Maybe that advise is no longer true or valid. Either way, the person
offered the best advise I suspect. Maybe in the future you should seek
advise from multiple sources to validate any long term development approach.
For anyone to turn around and complain sounds petty and unprofessional.
If you're really interested in moving the general Linux community
forward then you will stop henceforth blaming other people and
aggressively push two or three alternative solutions. If you are
passionate enough about your work then you need to promote your ideas
enough that people either accept one of your suggestions, or recommend
an alternative approach. Passion and perseverance is required, not moaning.
Likewise, the other developers have an obligation to review your ideas
and discuss/describe the areas of concern, offering constructive
feedback. It's unacceptable to refuse a colleagues patch and not offer
any advise. I know this has NOT happened. I know alternatives were given
to you.
I suggest you stop the bickering and begin working with your Linux peers
again, help us to find the right solution.
Half working drivers and/or badly integrated features are one of the
major reasons people turn to Windows instead of Linux.
I hereby offer to help review any alternative suggestions you may have
without bias or prejudice. I'll need other members to help.
Regards,
Steve
(Sorry, off topic but based on recent discussion in IRC this had to be
addressed)
