Whoa whoa whoa... could we stop here for a sec, please? First of all, before filing this bugreport I checked suckless's homepage, which says on its Community page: "dev@suckless.org - for dwm/dmenu/st/… users, development discussion, bug reports and general discussion". I did look up that this is the forum that suckless developres picked for bugreports. Now do you say that bugreports aren't welcome? Then this page should be fixed (I guess I should send a patch, right?).
Second, I'd like to seriously understand: Do you believe that a bugreport (without a patch) has zero, or perhaps even negative value? If you think it still has a positive value, no matter how small it is, a "thanks" (or no response at all) would have been a much better reaction. Third: I don't recall being rude to you, or demanding you to fix this bug, I only informed you about one. I just don't find your attitude justified at all. I wasn't sure how to interpret Silvan's words, they could have easily been interpreted as rude, but I assumed good intent (indeed, I know that a bugreport with patch is much better than one without), hence my respnose clarifying the situation. But your comment is surely way out of line. Fourth: Guess what, I am a developer myself, having contributed a lot to (and as of now also working on) open source in my free time. I just don't find the model of cross-fixing each other's bugs a good one. You know what: I often fix bugs reported by others in the product I'm developing, and never occurs to me to respond to anyone like this. I firmly believe it's a more effective model if people preferably work with the code base and surrounding infrastructure that they're more familiar with. Read: You're free to report bugs against my project (minding the style, of course), and I fix the ones in mine, you fix the ones in yours, rather than the other way around. Fifth: Not sure if you're affiliated with suckless or just randomly commenting, but the combination of this style, having to use a mailing list rather than a bug tracker software, and coming across a tiny patch that so far 7 people worked on and is still conceptually buggy, makes it absolutely clear to me that suck "less" is an utter lie. (Unless you mean "sucks less for the project's developers"). I'm happy to unsubscribe from your list now and never to come back. It was a pleasure. wishing all of you the best, egmont On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 4:59 PM, Quentin Rameau <quinq@fifth.space> wrote: >> My sole intent was to report a bug, leaving it up to you how you handle it. > > Thank you consumer, please forward to your nearest Apple Store Geniuses
