[gentoo-dev] short rant

There have been some people running thier pieholes about the new "init
standard" and I'd like to comment on this for a brief second. I happened to
be checking in some initscripts for packages that I believed were fine.
Noone bothered to document the changes or this supposed standard, so I
continued to happpily repair / replace the scripts that I saw were'nt rc6
ready.

Then some _child_ proceeds to talk down to me through his idiotic commit
messages rather than documenting the new "standard" and then letting
someone know about this documentation so that I could do the scripts the
"Right Way" and not have to duplicate my work.

When I attempted to explain the situation to this person, he continued to
intentionally irritate me, just as a child would. I think this person must
be about 12 or 13 and often wonder if his mother knows he's up all night on
his puter or what. 

So I'd like to ask nicely if there is any documentation with regards to the
new supposed standard or not, and if not could someone please put something
together? I'd rather not waste anymore time than I already have with this
as I have more important things to than rewrite initscripts.

Lastly, I'd like to say that I had payed attention when some points were
made to me about the initscripts, but one commit mistake does not warrant
the kind of ignorance I witnessed as result of it.

Quite frankly, I will not dignify this with a response, as anybody privy
to the actual transcript of the discussion, can clearly see the dispicable
profanity and vulgar Blutgens used for themselves.

Have a nice day.

But you just did. However your point is taken and you're right.

The fact still remains. The stuff needs to be documented, and insulting 
someone for not knowing the right way in the first place is uncalled for.

Unfortunately, I had barely enough time to *develop* the (world's coolest)
rc-scripts in the first place.  Maybe writing documentation is something that
Donny would be willing to do.  I originally said I was going to do it, but
I really am unable to at the moment.

OK; this stuff does *not* belong on this mailing list, or anywhere for that
matter.  Please do not release your stress on fellow developers.  I'm not
assigning blame towards anyone, just letting people know that this stuff
needs to stop now.

This one was my fault, I let my emotions override the small nugget of
constructive information I had to offer on this situation and it
accomplished jackshit.
