Hi Tobias, Quick summary - There was a post to the list about a message on the ftp server from Andreas. A quick discussion took place about it where we decided it was obviously a left over from a long time ago when Andreas went to Novell. The message on the ftp server was picked up by Distrowatch - possibly from the posts on this list at a guess. Again, the general view was that the message was old - and that Andreas probably posted it when he left for Novell. The only real problem left was that Distrowatch had posted it on their site, which, reading their site, seemed to hint at problems within Yoper between the current devs and Andreas. As we all know, that is total rubbish! Andreas developed Yoper on his own for years - and, although he now has paid employment with Novell - he still takes an interest in what is happening with Yoper. Thats the basic idea - doubtless you will catch up on the rest of the posts later. I feel it is all a storm in a teacup - an old message from ages ago on the ftp server, which Andreas posted when he left to work at Novell - not a rude or derogatory message, just saying bye to Yoper and suggesting people looked at Slick and OpenSuSE. The whole thing would have not been a problem until Distrowatch picked it up. The fact that the message is now gone seems to indicate that Andreas had forgotten the message and has now removed it anyway. As they say on /. all the time - "nothing to see here, move along please!" :) Yoper is a close community - which is producing a rocking distro - and there are always going to be little things like that which will appear. Sometimes people leave messages in files or on servers which perhaps mean one thing - but, because of the fact that the internet is not a great medium for explaining the tone of a message, these things do not always come across well. With Yoper being multi-cultural and multi-country based, we sometimes see people missing the point of some messages - particularly those with humour or sarcasm. Each of us has their own style - some are fairly laid back, others are more direct - and the laid back messages look like waffle to the direct people and the direct messages look rather stern to the laid back peeps :) I suggest we let the whole issue slide away. Now the message is gone from the server, lets just forget the whole thing :) Mark _______________________________________________ yoper-dev mailing list [email protected] https://morpheus.pingos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yoper-dev
