there is no rush, enjoy your trip :) Paper is patient, e-mail is persistent ;) > I have the impression that you feel rather unhappy about some of my > design 'decisions' and opinions. I have to admit that, in fact, that was the trigger to propose the split and I probably wouldn't have done that out of thin air. Not because the proposition was made out of defiance, but because maintaining a separate project is a lot of work and my time is already limited as is.. And I feel very uncomfortable saying “we should split it up, but I'm not doing it”. > Because I will continue to reserve final say about goes and what does > not go in rrdtool, I suggested a fork, so that you could develop your > branch of the cached in the way you see fit. That's not the problem: In my opinion a “monarchy” is the only way a free software project of this size can work reasonably well. What broke my patience was not that you made decisions I wouldn't have made, but that you didn't respond to my arguments. As I said before: A fork is out of question. > You could focus on the needs of collectd and develop the cache to be a > perfect match. How does collectd come into play here? If I was only concerned about collectd, I wouldn't have to write RRDCacheD at all – collectd's RRDtool plugin has had caching since version 4.0, released in June 2007..
