To the users, it's so pitiful that users of a distribution is so quick to kick out a DEVELOPER just because he disagrees with the leader. Please notice that Dave Cinege is NOT a debian developer. He does not maintain a package and never did. He does work on a router project that uses debian as a basis, and he did contribute to debian-user, asking questions of other users. But he is not official involved in Debian, if there isn't something I don't know. As a user, I must laugh at some of the criticisms. Spelling mistakes? Use of initials instead of the full name? These are reasons for ignoring a complaint? It is scary to find out that this type of group can decide who becomes a developer for debian and who doesn't. It seems to me that you missed the long thread on debian-devel a while ago, where dave has used uglier things than common four letter words to express his opinion :( I can post you this thread, it is only slightly larger than one megabyte... I should mention that this is not the first time there was disagreement in the Debian project. I remember in the beginning that Bruce and RMS also had a disagreement. Fortunately, that was resolved. I hope this one gets resolved as well. Unlike others, I do see some problems with the distribution and improvements can be made. Dave, I don't know what kind I use Debian since a year only, but I think the disagreement between the FSF and Debian is in no way comparable to the rantings of dc. of contributions you make to debian. But if it is in the dpkg program, then I hope you can continue to improve it. If you do branch off into another distribution (great, yet another distribution), then dpkg is the first program you should improve. As I stated above, dc is not a debian developer, and I doubt that he can improve dpkg. As Ian(?) stated a while ago, everyone who has a small idea of the way dpkg works, disappears from this world :) For dpkg: Bruce is pretty sure that all distributions will use ANSI packages soon.
