So are you basically saying "You don't like fighting against Gentoo, and |
| 11 |
Gentoo doesn't like fighting against you?". I think I might have a |
| 12 |
mutually agreeable solution! 5:) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And yet still you keep fighting? Why? What do you *need* from Gentoo |
| 15 |
that you can't get for yourself? A user base? A huge archive of |
| 16 |
ebuilds ready and working? A large set of mostly silent developers to |
| 17 |
maintain those ebuilds? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
There's a neat little project called Exherbo you might have heard of. |
| 20 |
It's trying to build up most of those things, and they don't put up with |
| 21 |
incompetent, unknowledgeable people, so I'm sure they'll let you in, and |
| 22 |
I'm sure you'll be happy there. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Yet still, you seem to *need* something from Gentoo. Given that, it's |
| 25 |
bizarre that you're repeatedly disrespectful to members of its |
| 26 |
community. It seems an odd tactic to present yourself so poorly when |
| 27 |
you're in need of something... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Obviously Gentoo is taking up a lot of your time (simply time writing |
| 30 |
replies to most every point raised on a thread), and you often seem |
| 31 |
frustrated by the level of people you have to work with. So perhaps you |
| 32 |
should direct your extensive energies exclusively at Exherbo? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I'm quite happy to continue working in a friendly helpful environment, |
| 35 |
where simple questions are most often met with patient answers and |
| 36 |
people are given the chance to learn, improve and help out where they |
| 37 |
can. I'm happy to keep quietly maintaining my ebuilds and let the |
| 38 |
people whose packages I package come up with the new stuff. You don't |
| 39 |
seem to be, so perhaps this isn't the right place for you to contribute? |
| 40 |
~ If you do want to contribute, perhaps you could consider the |
| 41 |
environment you're working in, and be more accommodating to it rather |
| 42 |
than fighting against it? |
