Hey guys, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Every other day on IRC, I see people arguing about touching each |
| 4 |
others packages, despite our policies against it. (Sometimes it's even |
| 5 |
me who's doing the touching!) My instinctive reaction is always, |
| 6 |
"can't everybody calm down and be happy somebody is doing your work |
| 7 |
for you?" The answer to this question is, of course, that it depends |
| 8 |
who the developer is and how competent you are. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
So, nothing new here. I don't want to bikeshed about it. Business as usual. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Perhaps we can come up with something more formal for solving this, |
| 13 |
that works a bit better than my package-policy.txt idea (see other |
| 14 |
thread). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
A few have proposed in the past adding this kind of "attitude |
| 17 |
information" to metadata.xml. Does anybody have any concrete proposals |
| 18 |
for what this would look like? |
| 19 |

Thanks, |
