From a "user" point of view, having submitted ebuilds, patches |
5 |
ideas and questions here and there on bugs.go, I must admit I end |
6 |
up putting up my "contributions" on my local /usr/local/portage |
7 |
because it never makes it to the official tree. |

I love Gentoo, but sometimes I feel like I'm using a debian stable :) |

I do not say everything should be bloody-edge at all times, but |
12 |
as a hoster, I use a lot of those so-called "servers" -- apache, |
13 |
mysql, cyrus-imapd, inn, postfix, amavisd, maia (which has a |
14 |
working, if not perfect, ebuild standing in bugs.go for years now |
15 |
-- #130068 -- and which is in "maintainer-needed" status), etc) , |
16 |
and I have to put them under our local tree to use them. |
17 |
|
18 |
For example, I've one for pondus, a very small gnome app which |
19 |
tracks your weight... I never bothered submitting it to bgo. |

|
21 |
I wonder how much time flies before users begin to stop posting |
22 |
their corrections to bugs.go and keep them local, because they |
23 |
never get committed. |

I agree that some management is needed, but I feel like it's |
26 |
becoming more and more complicated to participate in the project |
27 |
-- either you have to write a document showing you understand how |
28 |
the management works (why should I care ? I just want to add a |
29 |
patch), either your patch/ebuild is "ignored" for years. |
30 |
|
31 |
It might not be the case for every herd, though. |
32 |
|
33 |
It seems to me it was easier to participate in 2004... |
34 |
|
35 |
BTW, I'm not looking to troll here, so please: no flamewar. It's |
36 |
just my humble opinion, I don't want to get people mad, and I can |
37 |
very much be completely wrong. |
