Apache mentors should have a look at these reincident harassment and destructive behaviors which demotivate contributions and take action. It takes only one bad apple to ruin a community.
The mobile solution that is known to work as of know is cross compiling with "ci/build.py -p build.android_armv8" or "build.android_armv7". The only advantage of amalgamation is to provide a smaller binary that we could accomplish with the C preprocessor. My technical contributions speak for themselves, including porting MXNet to Android and ARM and helping many users run MXNet in Jetson, Raspberry Pi and Android amongst many other topics. I have never been disrespectful to anyone. I'm entitled to my own technical opinions about amalgamation or any other piece of code whatsoever, that's no personal disrespect to anyone and perfectly valid. If you are not interested in this project anymore, do us all a favor and stop trolling and being toxic. If you want my respect, step up your technical contributions, be positive and encourage others, this including commits, I haven't seen for many months, please be positive and constructive. This scorched-earth attitude is only reflecting bad on you. I'm certainly not interested in your ad-hominems or unasked for technical advice, which to be honest, showing poor judgment and ignorance. Myself and others have come up with numbers, graphs, metrics and arguments and have been met with dismissal, trolling and sea-lioning. I have recieved your insults via public and private channels (such as linkedin) as have others. This is not ok and has to stop. If you have something personal against me or against your former employer, this is not the right place or forum.
