Personally, I'd state anyone who thinks we're implementing only what=20 we find fun to do is trolling something fierce, but I'm also a portage=20 dev thus my views are a bit different. Regardless, ciaran's own statement via irc "that the portage devs are=20 hurting gentoo by ignoring certain requests" still harkens right back=20 to my point- if you believe it to be the case, nagging/bitching ain't=20 going to improve it in anyway. People, you've got the source. You want it and think we're moving to slow/being tools/incompetent=20 jackasses, whatever the belief, _you_ can do something about it that=20 results in actual progress- I already stated the ways to help in my=20 last email. So... again, you want it, help, or kindly sit back and wait for it to=20 be implemented on our timeline. ~harring --OgApRN/oydYDdnYz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDreXDvdBxRoA3VU0RAo40AJ9s/DdFB9GYdV3ei10MevpNkwC/XQCbBIvo gVKsb9D+hR3P+kvfK3izyiU= =AN1M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OgApRN/oydYDdnYz-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
