We are under no obligation to contribute anything to ::gentoo, we could do all our go packaging work in a private overlay, and never push anything upstream. It is a considerable amount of extra work to push our packages upstream. We do this to contribute to the wider Gentoo community. I resent your statement that we are not doing this to contribute to the community. |

Please explain how we are actively making things worse for you? We are contributing useful packages to the tree, we are doing the work and we are doing it in the way that makes the most effective use of our time. We simply do not have time to be trying to convince upstreams to make changes to their build systems to support a single, somewhat niche, distribution. We certainly don't have time to be patching build systems with every version bump. |
