And the time you just wasted spewing rhetoric on this thread? Since |
13 |
you have such a deep understanding of everything, couldn't you have |
14 |
done the rest of the work, posted it here and instantly convinced |
15 |
everyone? |

Fixing libtool isn't vapour, neither is the debian patch, but your |
23 |
plan/proposal to do is non-existant. You're just saying "Do this |
24 |
because I say you should, I don't know how, but you should. Oh, and if |
25 |
you don't you're all idiots". |

The tracker bug (bug 129413) seems to say otherwise. |

Useless unless it's complete. As I said above, fix it and convince us. |
41 |
Show us how wrong we are. We'll be glad and grateful. Don't whine |
42 |
about it and waste everyone's time and energy. |
