We were discussing your trollish claim that I thought that things had to be done a particular way. It is of course highly obvious that there are several ways of achieving the desired result, and highly obvious that there are a whole bunch of factors affecting which one works best. As it happens, all three package managers picked different solutions, all based upon extremely obscure internals issues. Which brings me back to my original point -- mandating a particular behaviour to enable some horrible ebuild hackery that doesn't even do what people want would be a very silly decision. > > Strange how you repeatedly seem to pop up in favour of doing > > whatever you think will cause most inconvenience to Paludis, > > though... > > > Strange how you think you can read my mind..

If you want a technical discussion, post using your other account with your real name on it, not your sockpuppet.

This hasn't, to my knowledge, yet everytime something which has /not/ been discussed is brought up, you rear up spouting on about vague hints of doom to do with portage, irrespective of how many Gentoo systems it's built and maintains. You obfuscate and spam the list with 15 mails instead of simply explaining in one go. Finally when someone pleads for sanity, you might turn around and explain wtf you're on about, and half the time it's rubbish; only everyone who can argue the point has got too tired of the thread, already has you in a killfile, or already gave up on the list or Gentoo because of you, and the shitstorm you generate. >> > Also, I don't think it has to be done at that point.

No you were; you keep making things much more personal than they need to be. I was discussing how and when that metadata is generated. As Harring pointed out, pkgcore does it at a _different_ point in time. IIRC weren't you the guy who deliberately took a troll as your avatar in order to flagrantly ban-evade and troll the forums a while back? Since we're discussing personality; at face sight it seems hypocritical, but then you always have been quick to call others on behaviour you enjoy using, even when it's not actually happening. Guess you must be a l337 uber-troll or sth.. that's true trolling, to play the rules against everyone and cause as much confusion as possible. Much better than simply being a dicq and getting kicked out.

Ciaran: it's clear everytime the new academic year starts, your post count ramps right up and pisses everyone off. I do hope that this year, what with your leaving University and having to be taken under your Dad's wing due to your mental illness, you don't go overboard and take out even more of your frustration on the rest of us. Is any of that true? Does it matter? What does any of it have to do with software development? Would you like a full CV, passport and biometric data from everyone who posts? Who are you to impose that condition? You weaseled out of signing the copyright transfer and continue to wave it in everyone's face at the slightest opportunity. Excuse me for not being bowled-over. BTW: stop telling me what to do: I'm mighty bored of it; your pronouncements only sound dramatic in your own head: no-one else really cares that much. *You* certainly don't get to impose /any/ conditions on me; you can only _ask_ the moderators that I be held to a certain standard of behaviour, taking into account the cultural norms, and the context. I look forward to the userrel bug. Mind if I get on with software now? Oh well, tough. The bit that really gets me is you think I'm a pkgcore fanboi; portage all the way, twat.

Unfortunately, you then had to jump in and expect me to explain twenty other at best vaguely related issues which weren't under discussion. As I've said every time you make that absurd claim, this is not the place to post a two hundred page explanation of how every last bit of the computer works, from electrons upwards, in response to a simple question. > IIRC weren't you the guy who deliberately took a troll as your avatar > in order to flagrantly ban-evade and troll the forums a while back?

If you genuinely care about how Paludis deals with the bash side of things, do a little background reading and then post a mail to the Paludis mailing list asking about it. The answer you get will be long, obscure and of interest to maybe three people, and only because they have to know about it when changing things. > > As it happens, all three package managers picked different > > solutions, all based upon extremely obscure internals issues. > > I read that as "stuff I don't really understand."

No, I would like you to stop maintaining a "real work" persona and a "paludis bashing" persona. Beyond that I don't care. Incidentally, read up on luke-jr (google "gentoo-dev seems to be hacked") if you want to see what Gentoo's view on using aliases and contributions from non-existent people is. > You weaseled out of signing the copyright transfer and continue to > wave it in everyone's face at the slightest opportunity.

Nope; just if you don't want to discuss, kindly stay away from any of my posts in future.

You just keep getting in the way, acting somehow as if you're elucidating, when all you're doing is quite pathetic attention-seeking. > do a little background reading and then post a mail to the > Paludis mailing list asking about it. No thanks, my first and only real-time conversation with you two years ago convinced me that all the Gentoo people who couldn't stand to even talk about you had good reason. Up until that point, based on the mailing-list, I assumed that when you didn't get an answer it was because you were right. Not that everyone was just sick to death of you after 3 or 4 years. Their embarrasment wasn't technical iow, it was purely about your personality, which is poisoned, perhaps by your Aspergers or w/e you're calling it this year. I doubt it though: I think you're just a nasty piece of work who hides his craven cowardice behind his technical ability, and uses that to get a kick out of beating up on newbs. We see them all the time in #bash, ##c and so on; put bluntly you and your cohorts are the reason I never got involved with KDE on Gentoo, despite having used it for over a decade. >> > As it happens, all three package managers picked different >> > solutions, all based upon extremely obscure internals issues. >> >> I read that as "stuff I don't really understand."

Honestly, you really think I waste time strategising about how to deal with *you*? Most I ever do is joke with mates about how obnoxious you are, though these days it's more your cronies (and no doubt your sekrit personality on the forums.) Honestly, I don't need to waste time thinking how to deal with you, little boy: you always turn up being nasty[1] and proving the point. That's why you were eventually kicked out on your arse after so much time. > , but really... Do you genuinely > care? > Not about the over-engineered, bloated crap you come out with. I do hope exherbo is taking all your ideas without review, or at very least all the ones you've presented to the dev m-l. If only christel and kloeri weren't involved, I'd be able to cackle with delight. I mean that crap you came out with about subshell die over a year ago, and the nonsense you spouted about trap on the dev m-l recently. I can't take you seriously as you're simply unable to grasp that other people might know more than you; hence you're a liability to any project, and it's no wonder you couldn't get a job outta Uni, despite all those legions of people who think you're so hawt. >> > Which brings me back >> > to my original point -- mandating a particular behaviour to enable >> > some horrible ebuild hackery that doesn't even do what people want >> > would be a very silly decision. >> > >> You mean the hackery one might use to detect whether a phase is >> needed? > > It won't, though, because the meaning of phases and phase functions > changes between EAPIs.

I already mentioned how there were other obscure internals factors related to the decision. There are all kinds of ways one could do it.
