an example; package media-video/kino |

- new version 0.7.3 with quite a lot of important bugfixes has been |
| 12 |
released on 10.8. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- the same day, 10.8., someone (Kjell Claesson) created a bug for |
| 15 |
missing ebuild and supplied ebuild for version 0.7.3 (nothing changed in |
| 16 |
the fact ...) - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59968 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- the next day, someone (Patrick Dawson - gentoo developer ???) |
| 19 |
reacted, trying to teach the submitter about how to submit in a better |
| 20 |
way, etc ... |
| 21 |
from the last message it is clear, that he realizes that nothing has |
| 22 |
been changed in the ebuild apart from the name itself |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
- today it's almost month later, but the ebuild is still not in the |
| 25 |
portage tree |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
so what else is required besides posting a new ebuild ? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
i'm not accusing anyone, i'm just asking ... how can you expect people |
| 30 |
to eagerly submit new ebuilds when you don't show enough interest in them ? |
| 31 |
|

regards, |
