If I had the time to compose such a description, or a test patch, I |
21 |
would have. |
22 |
|
23 |
The world needs to start thinking in terms of helping me do the work |
24 |
of sparc maintainence, instead of constantly expecting me to magicly |
25 |
come up with all the answers and the test patches every single time. |
26 |
|
27 |
I have to confide in everyone how deeply disappointing it is over the |
28 |
years that this situation continues forever and nobody tries to help |
29 |
me in a truly meaningful way. Everyone can test things, nobody can |
30 |
fix or implement things. We have enough testers, and nearly no |
31 |
fixers. |
32 |
|
33 |
I'm getting older, slower, and more bogged down in networking |
34 |
maintainence. And hey I'd like to enjoy life too, believe it or not. |
35 |
|
36 |
So people need to step up and help or else I can guarentee you |
37 |
that the sparc ports will continue to deteriorate. |
