Jason,
Volker,
First, please following mailing list etiquette and don't top post
it is pretty much his mailing list.
Just because he is the "maintainer".
Am I wrong, but the community owns the code, not Edward.
I have had the same impression in the past, but now I have learned
something new.
people who write the code own the code. How many reiserfs or reiser4 related
patches from you two got into the kernel in the last... lets say 4 years?
You don't hit the real problem. The last time we were at this question
in this mailing-list, I said it seems to be, that we're are running in
circles since 2 or 3 years. As Jason and I said, the maintainer refused
to communicate with persons trying to support the development of the
filesystem. Is this fact really so heavy to understand?
I mean, I could host a reiser list on my mail server.
I can do it too ;)
if you want to - nobody is stopping you.
?!
Third, if the community only relied on you to progress reiserfs, it
has been years at this point and nothing significant. it is basically
somewhat dead.
reiserfs is in maintenance mode - there aren't much changes. In
fact, less
changes is a good thing.
maintenance mode = stagnant, no?
wrong. maintenance mode = stable.
?!
Edward is also pretty much the last person working on reiser4. You are
attacking him, but I don't see patches from you. Gives someone
something to
think about.
Right because he has slammed heads with everyone that was willing to
help him. I was willing and when I tried talking with him he blew me
off. So I forked. OntoLab too.
Yes, that's exactly the point.
and then you stayed in your little corner. Nobody knows about your forks.
Nobody can use your forks.
???
Or are you sending your patches to Andrew Morton
for -mm inclusion?
We are not at this point (see above).
look at the archives. Edward has good reasons to feel ripped of.
Maybe it is all a big miscommunication. But that isn't solved when
ontolabs
guys agressively advertise for themselves.
But what else is there when a snails pace is being achieved otherwise?
'diplomacy' look into it, a very interesting topic.
