Seriously.

Most people here are quite protective of what they have, but no one is 
stupid. Prove yourself right, and the world will go with you.


The first example was very anedoctal, and, to be honest, I didn't get 
the point, being left-handed. I asked two colleagues of mine to read 
your email, both left-handed as well, and no one understood your 
complain. So I have an anedoctal fact of three left-handed who don't 
agree with you.


I should say that all of us, besides being left-handed, use the mouse 
on the right hand. For different reasons, from VERY different cultural 
backgrounds (brazilian, german, belarusian).


So, please, get calm, and explain better, and - if possible - prove - 
your point. People WILL listen to you.

I said criticism, I said nothing about constructive, you seem to be
under the impression that all criticism must be constructive, this
isn't
grade school, I'm not here to tell you how to do your job, or to teach
you how to do it. I just throw the trash out when I don't like it and
move after criticising it.  I've no time to sit down and do what you
guys should have done right, which step one would have been a /real/
usability test.  A 15 person sample group made up of unequal
numbers and
a somewhat biased requirement list is far from anything considered
good.

Actually you know, to be honest, I wouldn't even criticise Unity
if some
people at Canonical weren't so keen/sure on implying it being good and
usable to all and being perfect and having tasteful design decisions.
Or if they would have admitted the Usability test was dodgy.  I would
just consider it another environment I do not like and move on
without a
word, but the way past tickets were handled changed that.

 If you want to have a productive discussion, then you should
focus on
 explaining why it is any harder for a right handed person to
move the
 mouse to the left than to the right, rather than insult me.

Who said I wanted to be productive for you guys? People far higher you
have already established they don't really give a crap about what
users
want because it's not tasteful to them. With that said, I've adopted a
criticise, throw out the trash and walk away attitude towards anything
included in Ubuntu now.  That is what's great about Linux, there
are so
many ways to make it your own and you get to be selective about where
you give back to opensource.

Please,

You are not happy with Unity? So, I recommend you to simply move back to 
gnome or any other UI of your choice, and then set up your launcher 
where and as you want but please, stop to scare/annoy all Ubuntu 
developers! You do not feel very good or what? Unity is an ambitious UI 
and any suggestion for improvement is welcome but in constructive way ! 
To resume, stop to cry now. I get all your mail and I lost a lot of time 
because you ! ! !

package that depends to libzendframework-php / include_path issue

2012-08-01 Thread decle...@nuxwin.com

Hello ;

I'm working on a package that depends on the libzend-framework-php 
package. Since the ZF library is not in the PHP include_path (out of pkg 
installation), can I edit the /etc/php5/conf.d/zend-framework.ini file 
via my pkg postinst script to make it work without requiring the admin 
to edit that file manually? Ubuntu seem to follow the Debian policy 
draft for PHP packages but Debian do not.


To resume, Under Debian, after installing the zendframework package, the 
library is available without modifying anything because the files are 
installed under /usr/share/php/Zend. On ubuntu, the library is available 
under /usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php/Zend/. That for a 
specific/etc/php5/conf.d/zend-framework.ini file is provided to add it 
to the PHP include path.


BTW: I would recommend to make it workable after installation without 
requiring the admin to edit it. :D


Sorry for my English, I'm French.
