x11 is the herd because when I added it I thought that it was low level enough |
| 18 |
that x11 may help from time to time. This never gave the right to anyone to |
| 19 |
break and hijack it without discussion nor notice like you did. |
| 20 |
Since it seems to be more a burden than a help, I'll remove x11 herd from |
| 21 |
metadata too when removing the fdo version. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Maybe something you didn't understand: herd/maintainership isn't about |
| 24 |
territoriality and giving the right to commit crap, it's about area of |
| 25 |
responsability. |

yes, didnt you think that maybe there's a reason I've been using the sds |
| 39 |
version for almost one year ? |

you clearly didnt run a diff... its the fdo version + a debian/patches dir |
| 44 |
with, heh, some fixes and improvements I'm using... |

There was no reply because I didn't see the point, for now, to flame users by |
| 55 |
telling them that a version number doesnt necessarily bring them more code nor |
| 56 |
features. I thought gentoo developers were aware of that. I was wrong. |
| 57 |
I left it open because I thought, at some point, that we will not need the sds |
| 58 |
version. I don't think it's the case now. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Seeing that I bumped it ~1 week ago, did you really expect that it was an |
| 61 |
abandonned package and that you were saving it ? Were you trying to hijack it? |
| 62 |
Or maybe just piss me off ? |
