Why do you all read so much into it? Culprit, was the wrong choice of |
| 2 |
words, but the email was neither mean or bad-spirited. It was obvious he |
| 3 |
was just saying that this should be masked quickly to avoid a lot of |
| 4 |
users running into this problem. The east/west refernce is simply |
| 5 |
juvinille. Having spent a great many years in both places, I can testify |
| 6 |
that it is a meaningless and inaccurate stereotype anyways. All this |
| 7 |
does is point out the real lesson to be learned here. Gentoo may be |
| 8 |
"cutting-edge", but the stability problems MUST be fixed, expecially in |
| 9 |
Portafge, because if it breaks, it can leave a system in a very |
| 10 |
difficult to recover state. We should all display enough maturity to not |
| 11 |
label email headers "SERIOUSLY fucked up ?", avoid labeling people, and |
| 12 |
simply work at fixing the problems and moving on. Those of us who need |
| 13 |
stable systems for the moment, need to be much more cautious about |
| 14 |
upgrading our systems, until Gentoo has a better system to ensure stable |
| 15 |
releases. |

I'm not steriotyping. Just saying why fight when working together can |
| 44 |
solve the problem without getting all worked up about it. |

since I haven't emerged this portage I don't have this problem. fixing |
| 53 |
something that is not borken on my system is pretty hard. I also don't |
| 54 |
think the person responcible. |
