You suggested one "solution" which is sub-optimal. When I privately |
| 11 |
suggested an alternate solution that works better with the tools the devs |
| 12 |
already use, scales far better and solves the problem more completely than |
| 13 |
your solution does, you didn't want to hear about it. In fact, the very |
| 14 |
next thing you did was post your "blow the whistle" nonsense. |

You don't seem very interested in solving this problem. Instead, you seem |
| 17 |
very interested in making a lot of noise. |

Jason already said they were working on it and he explained why it wasn't |
| 23 |
implemented yet. Please stop spreading FUD. |

Why are *you* so reluctant to work on any solution other than the one you |
| 26 |
came up with? Have you spent any time looking at the portage code? Do you |
| 27 |
have any idea how long it would take to implement a solution using repoman? |

You obviously feel quite passionately about this issue and just as |
| 30 |
obviously don't like the timeframe being discussed for fixing this issue as |
| 31 |
it stands. So why not take that passion and devote it to writing some |
| 32 |
python code that fixes the issue? You claim you want to help Gentoo. Put |
| 33 |
your code where your mouth is. |
