However, given the recent discussions I feel I should point out that catalyst is Release Engineering's team release tool and not a "toy" for people to tinker with. I appreciate the interest all of you are showing for the tool and I appreciate any improvements, but I and other releng team members need this tool to work for us to have releases. >> For a significant change like this, > > "significant" is so subjective though. It did made a significant change to the dependencies of catalyst. I haven't checked it closely yet, but I also wonder if all the additional deps are worth avoiding a single man page in the tarball. >> I think we should give 24-48 hours and make the patch visible >> somewhere > > It is clear that you are displeased because you think you did not > have a chance to oppose the change before it was made.

Also, prior to the subscription by agaffney, armin76 and myself, this list probably had little if any releng members. As this is a releng tool, not having us around to "object" doesn't make it ok to commit changes without ensuring releng is ok with the changes. >> Based on this as well as my previous objections I would like to see >> this change reverted. > > I disagree and hope that most others do as well, so that development > will continue instead of being stuck on senseless arguing with you. I'm sorry but this is not about arguing with William. This is about making sure that the people interested as well as the direct consumers of the tool are ok with any proposed changes. I'm sure no one wants to risk causing a split that could lead to either releng assuming control of catalyst again or worse causing a fork in the code. > What about my suggestion to fix the actual problem, asciidoc > dependencies, did you bother looking into that yet?
