While an interesting list of skills, do you have any that are relevant |
41 |
to finishing the cvs->git issues? I'll refer you to |
42 |
|

Your proposed solutions in your manifesto is to just throw out the |
46 |
manifest bits that need completion, in the process ignoring the |
47 |
infrastructural and security reasons for their existance. Same goes |
48 |
for ignoring the commit hooks chunk for rsync generation (after all, |
49 |
we can't just tell every gentoo user that "by the way, we're no longer |
50 |
going to update rsync"). |
51 |
|
52 |
I'd be a bit less critical of your offer here and the manifesto |
53 |
presented, if it was actually factual and at least a partially |
54 |
accurate understanding of the issues outstanding. |
55 |
|
56 |
At the very least, I suggest you actually have a chat w/ Robin |
57 |
directly and get caught up on what the issues are rather than making |
58 |
claims about his work that are pretty far off base. |
59 |
|
60 |
Also please note Arun's actual question was "what have you done to |
61 |
help", not "what skills do you have". There is difference- one I'm |
62 |
guessing that is being lost in the language barrier. |
