Firstly, why are you guys always so mad, and secondly why don't we just |
| 2 |
start packaging more of these packages as binaries then or bundling the |
| 3 |
needed version like the rest of the world does anyways? For many packages |
| 4 |
and systems (in this day and age of personal computing power) the advantage |
| 5 |
of source or not bundling is negligible but mostly I am starting to get |
| 6 |
slightly concerned about everyones health having been reading this list for |
| 7 |
years now. Things like slotted boost and a new glibc really wind some |
| 8 |
people up, it's not good - it's very concerning. Your health is more |
| 9 |
important than being forced to increase your compiled binary size by a few |
| 10 |
KB, despite the tempting memory gain, or because your package won't compile |
| 11 |
because someone removed one of the 8 available versions of that library you |
| 12 |
depended on. It is easier to buy more RAM than to reduce ones blood |
| 13 |
pressure, let me tell you. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
So how about we transform this distro into one where decisions are made on |
| 16 |
real world benefits, not purist ideals, and technical giants help each |
| 17 |
other to make breakthroughs unimaginable to others because they are |
| 18 |
smarter, work together, and the most kick-ass geeks on this interweb. I |
| 19 |
want to keep using Gentoo not just because of the pretty colours on the eix |
| 20 |
output or because when I run emerge --world in a coffee shop all the chicks |
| 21 |
think I'm that guy from the Hackers movie, or even because my favourite |
| 22 |
color is purple. I want to keep using Gentoo because the team effing rocks! |

Who's with me? |
