As someone already pointed out, CVS is not the place to do battle. I do
not
want to see a bunch of commit messages with "Revert" as the only word.
Any
time something is reverted, there has to be more explanation. *WHY* was
it
reverted?
The issues on the plate at this time are:
1) Source code header files. By mandate of Apache Software Foundation
(higher
than Jakarta or XML project committes) we *need* the full version. I
started
to put them in, but someone reverted them. I am not going to fight
it in
CVS, so let's get it done here. Stefano already took it as high as
he could,
so until we have the version 2.0 license available, we need to use
the full
version.
2) The pissing match between Peter and Stephen. Stephen made a change
to ContainerKit,
Peter posted a "Revert" CVS commit. No explanation that I saw. This
type of
stuff pisses me off. If there is a reason, enlighten the rest of us.
3) "Sky is falling argument." Peter has used this in several of his
arguments
saying that in six months we'll see it his way. Yet he fails to
enlighten us
to exactly what his way is. Sometimes the difference is so small,
yet the other
person is so stubborn that you would have to be a scientist to notice
the
difference. Hense the question of "What's the big deal?"
4) Ownership of code. The code here belongs to the community. There is
no "my
code" concept here. If you feel compelled to have the concept of "my
code",
then store it on your own server. It will be "your code" forever,
and noone
will use it.
Most important, I want the "Revert" crap to stop. If there is a
legitimate issue,
raise it in the list.

deserve neither liberty nor safety."
