Congratulations, you just took something that pissed you off personally |
| 6 |
and threw it up on the dev mailing list for the purpose of attempting to |
| 7 |
make a point where there is none. Never mind that for well over a week, |
| 8 |
you joined #gentoo-mips at least 6 hours before any of us in there would |
| 9 |
even be awake, said only "mips team ping", and then logged off 5 minutes |
| 10 |
later. You should have at least talked directly to somebody before |
| 11 |
getting so pissed off. Remember, when *you* want something, *we're* not |
| 12 |
likely to come track you down. |

Laziness? I can't speak for other herds, but when stuff like this gets |
| 17 |
thrown on the backburner with respect to mips, it is because most of us |
| 18 |
don't even come close to working on gentoo full time. And then, each of |
| 19 |
us has a specific area that we take care of. I, for example, deal |
| 20 |
pretty much only with X stuff. Most anything else I consider out of |
| 21 |
bounds since I either don't know how to test a certain package, or I |
| 22 |
have no way of testing it even if I wanted to, which leads me to the |
| 23 |
next point... |

So you are suggesting that we should mark something stable if it simply |
| 28 |
compiles? I really hope you don't apply this lazy method of QA to |
| 29 |
everything you maintain, else I fear for the users installing those |
| 30 |
packages. This is the main reason we didn't touch that package, because |
| 31 |
none of us had the ability to test pppoe. If you had actually made an |
| 32 |
attempt to talk to one of us when we were awake before running your |
| 33 |
mouth, you would have known this. In fact, we probably would have just |
| 34 |
given you permission to remove the keyword assuming that no repoman |
| 35 |
breakage resulted. |
