I know this is intended to be tongue in cheek, but I have a dev in the dotnet herd who's really pretty upset right now as a result of such apparently scathing comments accusing him of being an evil conspirator, a wrecker, and traitor, when it wasn't even *him* who introduced the keywords in question, he did a by the book bump moving arch -> ~arch for all arches listed in keywords. I understand that this is a consistent problem, and that we constantly have to deal with breakages like this, but please don't send emails like this with so many accusations without at least talking to the herd lead, or viewing CVS history first. I like dealing with the mess of pissed off and enflamed developers as much as the arch teams like dealing with bad QA, so next time, please use at least a *little* subtlty before blowing things up. Anyway, I'm glad all the arch teams, who are the one's that never screw up and save us all, are fixing things. -pete > > -- > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list > -- Peter Johanson -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
