Obviously you don't get it. We aren't going to spend time writing this |
| 10 |
sort of spurious and unnecessary specification documents. The fact that |
| 11 |
this is even conscionable would be hugely concerning except for the fact |
| 12 |
that you are not a Gentoo dev. Nor do you, as I have proven, have |
| 13 |
standing to file such a bug as you are not on the council (even as an |
| 14 |
alternate), and the SOLE option for packages violating PMS per the |
| 15 |
council is a council vote to mask the package. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I'm having a hard time reconciling the following: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
"The warnings don't make it to the user. The warnings make sure |
| 20 |
developers catch the problem and fix it." |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
"Just do it unconditionally. We're talking the tree here, not user |
| 25 |
configuration files, so enforcing QA can only be a good thing." |
| 26 |
"Portage should instead warn or error when this happens to prevent |
| 27 |
people from accidentally abusing this." |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Also: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
"No. It's in direct violation of PMS, and only accidentally works with |
| 32 |
Portage until Portage is fixed." |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
And: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
"Portage should instead warn or error when this happens to prevent |
| 37 |
people from accidentally abusing this." |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
|

Portage is a tool used by users, repoman is a tool used by developers |
| 41 |
for tree QA. Considering the zeal with which you are pushing this |
| 42 |
"accidentally works with Portage until Portage is fixed", I believe a |
| 43 |
reasonable person is going to look at the b.g.o bug, and at the Paludis |
| 44 |
bug and realize that you're more interested in process than innovation, |
| 45 |
and that you simply don't care about throwing needless confusing |
| 46 |
warnings at users (indeed a prima facia examination of Paludis would |
| 47 |
seem to confirm this, and my concerns WRT Paludis and the development |
| 48 |
methods are well known). I think they'll also realize that throughout |
| 49 |
this process you've been less than honest, and a huge impairment to the |
| 50 |
work going on at Funtoo. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Would someone who has access please resolve the bug as WONTFIX? Thanks. |
