What is your problem with the installer project? Over the past year or so, there have been *2* people that complained about us treating them badly. The first person was the genux guy. While he may not have deserved it then, I think most of us can agree that he deserved it now :P The second complaint was from a person that definitely deserved what he got. He was harassing us trying to use the GPL to *force* us to give him the spec files used to generate the experimental X LiveCD. We wouldn't give it to him because 1) we didn't have it (wolf31o2 did), and 2) it would not work with the released version of catalyst. What you don't see is the interaction with releng and the portage folks, the people that are building their own CDs with the installer, the patches and suggestions we accept from people who have used the installer, etc. Unless you're actually going to do some research into our project before bitching about it, please pick another project to harass. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
