This is not a true OSS community. If you want that go to Debian or
Fedora. Before you start these wild rants know what your scope is.
FELICITATIONS you loose an other dev ! Your so closed mind IS DIVIDING
the community !
If the Maemo folks (Maemo.org masters) do not wish to change the QA
design by only writing an e-mail to them then you should create a bug
about it or form an official petition to see the QA policy changed.
Storming off and creating a new repo is not a *mature* or friendly
solution. The last thing I'd like to see is Maemo split into one repo
per app.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm not arguing about your right to split off. Anyone
continuing discussion about the right to do so is completely OFF-TOPIC.
I'm talking about the politics of the situation. You're completely in
your right to create software the way you want, but when you want to
play ball with a distribution/community you need to have a little better
understanding of the rules instead of becoming an outlaw.
Michael,
I have no idea who made you king and what gives you the right to lecture
productive community members from the top of your soapbox, the way
you've been doing here.
But I do know one thing, as a simple user of things other people have
made: a search of your name in Garage yields only one package you are
listed as maintaining, something named "stopish". Maybe you have other,
hidden activities, but this particular one doesn't sound like it would
be of any use to me.
On the other hand, I have been a grateful user of Benoît's PyGtkEditor
ever since the early versions on the 770, and *that* is definitely
something useful to me, that I'd like to see further maintained and
improved.
So if it comes down to choosing between Benoît's way of pursuing his
project with his own repo, because he is fed up with the "one true way",
and your own purist view of how people should "play ball" and be
"mature", I won't have to think about it for even one CPU cycle.
