Are you sure about this? I spent lots of time in lkml... Lots of patches (even bigger) are comming "from sky". > In fact in the open source world it is a matter of etiquette. Why? Why should he publish all his steps? He can go and develop something himself, because he prefers to spend some time just with "his code". Not all are "exhibicionists" (please, read this word in positive way, or just say that I'm Czech who doesn't know English very well :-) ). > Working privately is one's choice, of course.

Because you want to publish something really working, not just some skeleton? Are you publishing all your "everyday" changes? Could you respect that some developers prefer to "work in bigger steps" and not consulting their everyday steps with others?

Could you specify one example of rule which will prohibit the integration that somebody is working in his own workspace and going to public just before integration or ARC, please? It is his decision to do it in this way. And potentially very dangerous, because: a) his work must not be accepted by others, as he implemented something in "unpopular" way b) somebody will implement it quicker c-d-e-f-...) add your own points here Is his contribution worse because he decided to not communicate frequently? > > You want just big amount of paperwork from us ;-) I hope the community > > is not my second manager asking for weekly reports... > > That strange conclusion.

Why are you complaining here? What are you expecting? That our CEO will go and push us in some way? Are you sure that this will make Sun engineers happy members of opensolaris community? We are just people, people with e-mail addresses ;-) Best regards, Milan _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
