Why people in (N/2)+1 group read the thread? Masochism? 

Why do you think that the thread is interesting only for people who
participate in the thread? We have many passive readers.

I think old good "Don't feed trolls!" is better than arbitrary attempt

Could someone, please, clarify situation with *-javadoc

2010-05-07 Thread Peter Lemenkov
Hello All!

Sometimes *-javadoc sub-packages explicitly requires main package, and
sometimes - not. I'm not a java-expert, so I don't know which is
correct.

Could someone, please, clarify this?

Re: Reasons for hall monitoring

I didn't to continue in this thread, but here I have to defend myself. I 
don't remember I would say anything like that, but it looks to me like 
taken out of the context at least and expressing exactly opposite 
position I think I held. Although I don't agree with many of them in a 
lot of places, I strongly support Kevin's, Ralf's and others position 
that the current development is very harmful to the development of 
Fedora and I would love them to stay and defend this still nice project 
we all work on.

Actually, http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/dissidents/ made me so 
angry that I am just not able to write any response to it ... whatever I 
would write would be too much personal half-libelous attack, so I will 
rather write nothing.

According to the Franciscan priest Richard Rohr, spirituality is
not for people who are trying to avoid hell; it is for people
who have been through hell. In many ways, spirituality is about
what we do with our pain. And the truth is, if we don't
transform it, we will transmit it.

Re: Reasons for hall monitoring

2010-05-07 Thread Jóhann B. Guðmundsson
Burying the underlying issue yet again under the carpet or "Hall 
monitoring" it wont resolve it neither will a shouting contest between 
people do. People will need leave all emotion behind and look neutrally 
at each other point of view and listen to each other constructive 
criticism to gradually build up and achieve a compromised solution 
between themselves and all parties involved.


Everyone knows the underlying issue that dissatisfies so many of the 
community ( otherwise Kevin would never been elected to FESCo  ) and to 
resolve that issue the board needs to step back and look at the project 
in whole, it's members, where it is and where it wants it to be and 
coming up with a clear cut vision of what the project is going to 
achieve and who they are trying to attract while achieving that goal.


As long as the project vision remains clouded and is sending out mixed 
signals the underlying issue will never be resolved and will leave 
contributors stuck in a Groundhog day unable to move on either within 
this project or to another one and the same issue will continue to 
re-surface release cycle after release cycle gradually increasing the 
disruption and the rift in the community.

It would make sense to SIGHUP gconfd after new schemas are installed,
yes.  Note though we should really only be doing this once at the end
of a transaction when installation is complete.

A recently built sbcl-1.0.38 won't install:

Seems this file grew in length a bit since the last build.  Any suggested 
fixes? (other than whacking whatever created the crazy overly long 
filename)?

It's quite easy. First of all there's obviously the need for a poll
what our users really want. Since a lot people think our users want
another openSUSE/Ubuntu, why not find out what they really want in the
first place. Make a scientific poll. I have to say scientific since
the last thread showed that the ones who want to change Fedora
completely away from what it is, don't believe a non-scientific poll.

Speaking of the handful of people who want another openSUSE/Ubuntu.
Have they ever thought about how many downloads Fedora has? That
Fedora is since a long time with "adventurous" updates? That Fedora
grows from users *not* satisfied with exactly the system where they
want it to be?
I can say that because i'm one of them. If my former distro would have
been that close to the edge (getting the latest and greatest KDE in
released versions) like Fedora is (was that time) i wouldn't have
changed to Fedora. The blue color and a fancy hat is no reason at all.

The best thing that happened lately, was the plan to test updates
better to prevent bad breakage. Of course it wont catch any bug. But
it is obviously needed. And i don't say it's because of some bad
dissidents break it (really a horribly blog post Seth), but it's
because of we're all just humans and stuff happens.
So if we can find at least the real show stopper before they get out
as updates, we're close to perfect.

So FAB, if you want to do something, do it right. Check out why our
users use Fedora. For sure not because they search for another distro
already on the market. And if this is no democracy, then don't speak
of visions, don't confuse our contributors, then speak as expected
from you.

I hope one or the other might get something positiv out of this post.
People who laugh about it, i'm glad that i at least made your day.

Here's the rub, though: Kevin argues for aggressive development and 
empowering the package maintainers to push out changes, even if it 
resulted in temporary regressions. Ralf, on the other hand, reminds us 
about the need for quality control, process and stability. They can't 
both be right---but the entire project is better off for them voicing
their opinions.

There's a lot of research in social psychology suggesting that large 
groups engaged in transparent and open discussion make better decisions,
statistically speaking, so a broad discussion exploring the entire 
spectrum of opinions is exactly what we need.

We just can't let it become personal and acrimonious. This is an 
obligation for everyone to take the 'extreme' voices at face value:
assume good faith, which, by the way, is a great life principle in most 
circumstances. It is also an obligation on those who take an unpopular 
view: voice it to the best of your ability but don't take it personally 
if your argument doesn't take the day.

I see.  The original filename was 249 characters (so it was possible to
create the file in the first place for addition to the RPM), but after
addition of the temporary suffix, it exceeds NAME_MAX at 258 characters.
cpio could be changed to snip some characters in this case like gzip
does.  However, I agree that the process that created that file ought to
be whacked.

Be very very careful with that last bit.  Voicing your opinion is a
right you have.  But it's not the case that the project is always better
off if you do so.  There are poisonous ideas, and poisonous behaviours,
and yours might be one of them.

My understanding was that with current Fedoras, gconf doesn't need this but
I could be misremembering, missing a corner case, or just wrong :-)

What are the cases that we need to still send a sighup to gconf?  (or is
this a workaround for an undiagnosed bug in the guake gconf schema?)

We can't do this only once at the end of a transaction but if I'm
remembering a different discussion, doing it multiple times at the end
of the rpm transaction should be almost as good (since gconf will wait for
a few moments from getting the first SIGHUP to see if it will get any other
ones.)  Is that correct?

It has a 30 second timer currently for "periodic cleanup", and SIGHUP
just sets a flag that that function reads.

Thanks for your help, I will update the spec to do this.
Would you have any advice/example on what would be the best way to do

Do you think it should be done on %postun as well ?

new qt-webkit-devel

2010-05-07 Thread Rex Dieter
In anticipation of nokia's plans to ship a separate qtwebkit, we've 
split this out into separate packaging in rawhide's qt-4.7.0-0.10 (and 
newer)
qt-webkit
qt-webkit-devel

So, if you have a package that needs this at build time, you will now 
need to use (preferably):
BuildRequires: qt4-webkit-devel
or
BuildRequires: qt-webkit-devel

To ease migration, I also added similar Provides: to qt-4.6.2-18+ builds 
for previous releases, which will be issued as updates at earliest prudence.

It's in gconftool.c:

Running makefile-install-schema and makefile-uninstall-schema eventually
calls do_sync() which was supposed to reread the schemas.  That's currently
calling gconf_engine_suggest_sync() in gconf.c and I'm not sure whether
there's some logic in there that could cause it not to suggest syncing in
our current setup.

Here's our bug where it was implemented but the code has changed since then:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173869

Possibly a regression?

So changing policy back to doing a killall -HUP in %posttrans should work.
It would be nice to know what Fedora versions are affected by this and
whether it will someday be fixed before updating the Guidelines, though.

Something like this:

%posttrans
killall -HUP gconfd-2 > /dev/null || :


You might want to switch to using the macros documented here at the same
time::
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#GConf

I don't know which version of Fedora those went into GConf though.

(Since this might be a regression in gconf2, you might need to still add the
%posttrans scriptlet wth the new scriptlets.  If Colin knows that this is
%a bug that won't be fixed in some versions of Fedora I'll add the killall
%to the appropriate point in the Guidelines.)

I don't understand how this could ever work - GConf IPC happens in
terms of ORBit which is per-uid, so a bare --makefile-install-rule
might contact the GConf engine for uid 0 and ask it to reload, but
that's it.  It would have to jump through hoops to contact the GConf
running as uid 500 or whatever, and I don't see those hoops being
jumped.

Oh but...I see, it's a Fedora patch not in the upstream GConf code to
run killall.  My bad looking at upstream gconf git.  Sigh...

So though this still leaves a window of up to 30 seconds where after
installing an application the schema will be invalid.  Which seems
very likely what people are hitting.

I think ideally we'd have the RPM system detect a schema was installed
and do an immediate reload once post transaction, and nuke the 30
second timeout from gconf.  That still leaves though the problem of
the massive copy&paste scriptlets; we could remove the killall from
--makefile-install-rule which would help.

I don't think it really matters.  In some cases, sure, it would be nice
to ensure that the package is around if someone is looking at the API
documentation.  Other times someone may only want to peruse the APIs
without installing the implementation.

Others will have different opinions so let's hear 'em.

I'm strongly against adding such dependencies if the javadocs don't actually 
for some reason _really_ require the main package.  I don't think I've seen a 
case where such a dependency would really exist.

- Common sense and common packaging practices: don't add dependencies that 
aren't really requirements for a package.

- It's convenient to be able to install lots of *-javadoc packages (nicely 
crosslinked even in many cases) and configure a web server to serve them, 
browse them and/or configure IDEs to access API docs from there.  Main package 
deps would pull in lots of cruft that isn't needed by a server with this role.

This is where a "suggests" like Debian might be appropriate.  (Does
Debian do that for their javadocs?)

I'm not actually particularly interested in whether this is true or not.
What worries me is that it was always my understanding, and I think the
understanding of others, that the hall monitoring policy does not grant
hall monitors the power to shut down threads they judge to be
repetitive. My understanding is it should only grant them the power to
shut down threads which violate the 'be excellent to each other' motto -
i.e., it's about the civility of the discussion, not the subject matter.

Whether shutting down repetitive threads is a good idea and they
_should_ have that power is a separate question; even if you think they
should, it's surely not appropriate for them to exercise that power
before it's actually been duly granted.

(if you go to the policy to check this, you may be surprised to notice
it's suddenly sprouted the following section:

"In addition to non-excellent individual behavior, there can be
occasions where a mailing list thread gets "out of hand", and is no
longer productive.  While simply being a long thread is not a problem,
threads with a limited number of people, repeating their same stances
over and over again with no forward progress, are also not beneficial,
and detract from healthy discussion.

* Hall monitors are allowed to send 'thread closure' posts to threads
that, after 50 or more messages, do not appear to be making any forward
progress. When this is done the subject line of the message will be
prefixed with [HALL-MONITORED] and a link to this wiki page is included
in the message.  This is intended to spur thread participants to
re-focus their discussion in productive manners, ideally in new and
smaller topic-specific threads."

This seems to have been added 'for review' yesterday, which to me is a
rather odd approach for a policy which is already in practical use,
however much the top of the page claims it to be a 'draft'. Proposed
changes for review should happen elsewhere, not in the 'production copy'
of the policy. But never mind. For the purposes of this email, please
refer to the policy as it existed when the thread was monitored, before
the above addition.)

The problem with this distinction is that in some cases the very act of
bringing something up again *isn't* civil.

That being said, I think the Hall Monitor concept is pretty awful.

Agreed. Those deps are now removed from the examples in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Abo/JavaPackagingDraftUpdate which I
previously submitted as a proposed guideline update. (I hope I submitted
it the right way...)

Somehow I managed to not notice the java-devel list until recently so I
think this is the first time I've mentioned the draft here. Please read
and comment on it! The number of changes are growing...

I should move it out of the User:Abo namespace so it doesn't look like a
personal page.

usb_modeswitch 1.1.2 in Fedora 11

2010-05-07 Thread Bernie Innocenti
You appear to be the maintainer of usb_modeswitch.

For the purpose of making GSM connectivity work on the OLPC XO-1, I've
backported usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data to Fedora 11. It's
been tested in the field and it fixes some Huawei models that were
previously unusable.

Would you mind if I pushed this update before the Fedora 11 repositories
freeze?

This would appear to be the action from the recent board meeting:

The board meeting log suggests that they intended the policy to have the
broader goal of keeping the discussion "constructive".  I'm not sure to
what degree the policy can be considered something to follow by letter,
independently of its intent.

(BTW, John Poelstra made two more revisions to the policy 20 minutes
ago.)

Interesting -- so to test this we'd need:

1) Update package with new schema
2) Hopefully the package is the only thing being updated, otherwise, we
could pass the timeout if no other schema-installing packages are also
installed in the transaction.
3) Immediately try to invoke the program.

The program then reads the old gconf schema and bails out or something.

However, this would seem to mean that if the user just stops the program and
restarts it after 30 seconds it should pick up the new schema.

The current scriptlets are pretty short... perhaps even too short :-(
I had to look at the draft page for the gconf update to remember what
they're doing behind the scenes.

I remember panu and ffesti were exploring ideas in the area of autodetecting
types of files that were installed and running scripts based on that but
I don't know what they've found.

Correct.  He was following up on an action item he took from the meeting 
which was to draft up some clear objectives for having the policy in the

Right.  Someone in the community should set up a suitable list or forum,
identical in charter but with weaker restrictions on "unconstructive"
discussion.  It could even be called Mail Fission.  Volunteers?  I could
do it if no one else wants to.  Or does such a venue already exist?

We'll see how many people join.  If very many people do, the board may
be persuaded to change the policy; if not, that would suggest that the
current policy is acceptable to the community at large.

I think there are use cases for which you want to install javadocs without
installing the bytecode; besides that, the Requires: tag is to make explicit
some runtime dependency, not a simple relation like this one.

Someone would disagree with me; however i think any decision is taken on
that topic would be turned in a MUST (depend or not depend) for the sake
of coherency.

> Somehow I managed to not notice the java-devel list until recently so I
> think this is the first time I've mentioned the draft here. Please read
> and comment on it! The number of changes are growing...

Some notes:

1- BuildRequires and Requires

At a minimum, Java packages MUST:

BuildRequires: java-devel [>= specific_version]
BuildRequires: jpackage-utils

Requires: java >= specific_version
Requires: jpackage-utils

This code snippet is telling me that specifying ">= specific_version"
in BuildRequires: java-devel is optional, while it is mandatory in
Requires: java

I have no objections to that, but the ant and maven templates below
must be updated consistently with that.

2- JavaDoc installation

"The name of the subdirectory SHOULD be either %{name}
or %{name}-%{version} with a symlink %{name} pointing to it."

I would turn that in a "MUST be either " one or the other: different directory
naming should be a rare exception and SHOULD doesnt seem strong enough.

3- maven template

You could drop the dependency on the main package for the manual too.
Anyway, the line should be:
Requires:   %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
not
Requires:   %{name}-%{version}-%{release}

I also would write a more general %add_to_maven_depmap macro call, from:
%add_to_maven_depmap org.apache.maven %{name} %{version} JPP %{name}
to:
%add_to_maven_depmap [groupId] [artifactId] %{version}
JPP[/optional_subDir] [jarName]

Finally, in the %files section:
%{_datadir}/maven2/poms/*
or
%{mavenpomdir}/*

Hope that helps

hi,

Long time ago, all *redhat* packages were renamed to "system*".
But three of them are still alive: redhat-lsb, redhat-menus and 
redhat-rpm-config

Should they switch to "system-" ?

[Test-Announce] Fedora 13 RC #2 testing open

2010-05-07 Thread Adam Williamson
Fedora 13 Final RC2 is now becoming available.  Please refer to the
following pages for download links and testing instructions. We have a
mostly complete set of images, with DVD and split CD for both arches,
and Desktop and KDE live images.

The changes from RC1 are minor: just an updated plymouth package to
address https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585128 , and an
updated deja-dup package as we discovered it had been stuck in
updates-testing for a while and the package on RC1 was rather old and
suffering from a few bugs. Aside from that, it should behave exactly as
RC1, but of course we would like to fill out the matrices to be
confident.

Installation:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test

Desktop:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test

Ideally, all Alpha, Beta, and Final priority test cases for installation
[2] and desktop [3] should pass in order to meet the Final Release
Criteria [4].  Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [5],
or on the test list [6].

Well, I would argue that both can be right (although I believe Ralf 
would strongly disagree with me on this point). The point in Kevin's 
triades which I am afraid was utterly rejected (or ignored) is that the 
most important relationship in whole Fedora land is the relationship 
between package maintainer and users of the package she maintains.

When I came to Fedora from the Debian-world (around FC6 release) I was 
absolutely in awe how better experience was maintaining packages in 
Fedora than in Debian. It seemed like the combination of best of being 
completely independent and maintaining your own repository (what would 
be now called PPA; I haven't heard the term then yet) and having support 
and community of fellow maintainers all in one package. It was 
refreshing to see how problems were just solved on the spot without need 
to apply for permission and a lot of bureaucracy. The result was 
incredibly rapid development (I remember I was using as an advertisement 
slogan “Fedora? Next release of your distribution today!”).

This vision in my opinion requires freedom for packagers of individual 
packages to have quite wide allowance in setting their own policies 
concerning updates and bug fixing. If Kevin prefers to have packages on 
all distros synchronized and (maybe, I don't know, I don't use KDE) 
broken much more often than Gnome-folks, it is in my opinion mostly 
between KDE team and KDE users. Also, if they don't think they can 
manage much more than pushing all non-packaging bugs upstream, I am not 
the one who would preach to them they should do better (especially 
without providing manpower to do so). OTOH, if Ralph doesn't won't to 
push almost any bug upstream and he wants to make sure that all Fedora 
bugs are fixed asap, great for his users, they will certainly love him, 
but I am not sure it should be fixed as a rule for everybody.

This kind of "shared PPA" vision doesn't exclude some kind of stricter 
requirements on critical-path packages ... if glibc or kernel is broken, 
than basically everybody is affected and these components should be 
fixed fast to allow others to work. But I would think that this critical 
path should be really short ... glibc, kernel, udev & co. and it should 
end somewhere at xorg-x11-* packages, but not much more. Certainly the 
critical packages shouldn't cover by far “all what normal user needs for 
his work” (including OpenOffice.org and Firefox), “whatever is on 
LiveCD”, or “in the end everything” (all three ideas I have actually heard).

Of course, this kind of development process doesn’t produce distro 
stable enough I could put it on my company’s server (or my mom’s 
notebook), but it could be an ideal distro for developers or 
contributors of any kind (with reference to 
http://smoogespace.blogspot.com/2010/05/at-least-they-had-burning-cloud-to.html 
by contributor I mean anybody who provides any bits to the distro ... 
packagers, artists, translators, tech writers, QA folks, yes, even 
admins; I would say that somebody just handing the DVD to a friend is 
doing good job in promoting the distro, but he isn't contributor in my 
meaning of the word).

It seems to me that the current fashion is going sharply against this 
vision of "shared PPA". There is more and more policies, permissions, 
preliminary testing, etc. Suddenly packaging for Fedora is less and less 
fun and more and more chore, which I don't want to dwell in. I have left 
most of packaging last year (for various personal and non-personal 
reasons) but I don't feel much urge to return to packaging anymore. Or 
in other words, if I need some package, I can package it myself, but I 
tend to keep all packages in my personal repository, and not bother with 
all permissions, reviews, guildelines, policies (which is not to say 
that there are no guidelines which could be helpful). I don't need that 
much bandwidth and storage for my personal needs any (which is the key 
resource current establishment controls). I wonder how many packagers 
(or former packagers) feels the same.

More and more I was writing this email, more and more I tend to agree 
with somebody today, who wrote that they key problem of the Fedora 
community is unclear vision about its purpose. I agree completely. I 
believe, that in the root of many of our problems lies in our 
unwillingness to say that we are not end-user-oriented distribution, but 
the contributors-oriented one.

There are many who pretends that it is possible to be both CentOS (or 
Ubuntu) and Fedora-as-we-knew-it at the same time, at tha

It is a blessing and it is a curse. Why do more developers show up at
conferences these days running Ubuntu or Debian systems.. many who
used to run Fedora or RHL? My very non-scientific survey has been that
it isn't that Ubuntu is cooler, etc.. but it is just much more stable.
Things don't break mid-release, they aren't spending all their time
updating to whatever is in Fedora and finding yet again its broken.
And when things are broken, people seem nicer.

Now does this happen a lot, probably not.. but for most developers it
just has to happen one or two times at the worst time and they will go
find something both new and stable for them. Yes they aren't getting
the latest stuff anymore.. but on the other hand they don't have to
worry that the 3 KDE apps they use didn't completely change over a
weekend (or vice versa the 2 gnome apps they depend on for something
didn't break because ibus got added as a dependency and didn't work
for some reason.)

The vision works as long as the set of packages and packagers is
small. It is very much the "Tragedy of the Commons" where at a certain
point I don't have a strong enough social link to think or worry about
what effect my package might have on something 30 packages away from
me. The fact that its broken and 4 users left doesn't really affect me
unless it turns out that it is Linus and he says something like "Sorry
about missing 2.6.36-rc1.. but for some reason Xmonkey. started
writing 0's to all my files last night and my backups too... Didn't
know I even had it installed.." Sure it got pulled in because it gives
libslapmonkey and now vim pulls it in so you can have an animated
monkey if you type :monkeybrainz [or some such thing.] But in cases
where it isn't Linus people just don't know.

At a certain size there are too many packages and too few packagers
who meet the level of people back when Fedora Extras was the big
thing, and you had to deal with getting critiqued directly by Ralph
and similar others.

I am a developer and i want my workstation more stable than
my mother laptop (and yes we both use Fedora). Indeed my
home deploy server has F-11, my daily eclipse workstation has
F-12, and i have rawhide in a kvm to do package maintenance.

I dont want to be thrown daily updates on the first two, but i think 8-9 month
is a good enough compromise for an upgrade; so i',m pretty comfortable
with Fedora release cycle.

Even if you don't develop for work, lets say you are contributing to
some oss project, i don't think working on an "adventurous" environment
is a good idea; do you want to be stopped for bugs in libraries your
code base depends on?

So, such an environment turns useful for distro developers, but a distro
for distro developers sounds so silly to me.

On the other hand, i have my living room htpc with fedora and
update-candidates turned on (and atrpms-bleeding to be precise).
So i get all those updates daily, hoping some of the (very minor in
comparison to those i *could* have on my work pc) issues go away.

I have choice; and no, i'm not configuring all like that because fesco told me.
I understand and respect any different opinion, but please don't
imply i don't exists, because i think i am a pretty standard figure in end-user
realm.

Cheers

That somebody being *me* and no you fail to understand the underlying 
issue Matěj we can be both be an end-user-oriented distribution and the 
contributors-oriented one but as long as one "vision" governs the 
project that will never happen. Projects and their contributions are not 
being treated equally within the project and that truly is the 
underlying issue and that's OK as long as contributors are told that 
that is what they are signing up for which by the way they have not been 
nor currently is being done.

 The thread was repetitive from a thread that had been shut down because
it had degenerated way past "be excellent to each other", and seemingly
was restarted explicitly to incite more flames, misinformation and
hatred.
 The only thing I found objectionable was that it was allowed to last
_so_ _long_ before being killed. Hopefully, in the future, if a thread
is hall monitored the people who were the main reason it got out of
control won't be allowed to wait a few weeks, change the subject and
start it back up.

Well, my view is a bit different:

I consider it to be a Fedora's package's maintainer's primary task and 
duty to keep his package "working and functional" in *Fedora*.

To be able to achieve this he is required to bring along a certain 
amount of technical skills/qualifications. Wrt. this, I am observing 
deficiencies in Fedora. I feel, there are packagers who consider 
packaging to be a mechanical task, but who don't actually understand 
what they are doing.


Part of this "task and duty" is the Fedora maintainer to go after 
bugs/malfunctions/defects etc." and process them in "adequate time" such 
that these "bugs/malfunctions etc" do not furtheron affect Fedora users.

How and what to do in detail to achieve this can vary in wide ranges in 
individual cases. This can be him to investigate an issue and to provide 
fixes himself, this can be him asking upstream, this can be him 
arranging a contact between reporter and upstream. The only thing that 
matters is to keep the impact of such issues low as possible to the 
Fedora users - In an ideal world, this would be to fix the bug ASAP.

In real world, processing such issues often works entirely different. It 
may easily comprise to release major package upgrades midst of a 
distro's life-cycle, even ABI/APi breaking ones, occasionally to 
backport selected fixes, or ... not to upgrade or in extreme cases, to 
remove or downgrade packages.


In short: Being religous about any of these details doesn't help anyone. 
Neither "let users report bugs upstream" nor "no backports" nor "no 
ABI/API breaking upgrades" nor "strictly follow upstream releases" will 
work everywhere on all occasions.

Or yet differently: The user and his experience with the packages a 
packager maintains should be in the focus of a packager's works.

What if, somebody is not happy about a discussion degraded into personal 
attacks, but feels that the issue at hand was never resolved properly. 
So he sits down and writes as plainly as he can (BTW, notice that Kevin 
is not native English speaker, not trying to imply it is the case here, 
just that we should cut each other some slack ... there are many people 
with ESL in the Fedora project). He feels personally hurt by the 
previous actions, so he writes in quite personal tone. And he is 
immediately shut down, because we have already settled this issue (well, 
we haven't, the discussion was just shut down, but it is convenient to 
pretend we did). How is that being excellent to each other?
