Development is not the same process as writing a whiny mail.
that is a shame. i can probably better understand the relectance to
re-visit this if it has failed before. perhaps, others are right,
perhaps linux can tolerate it because it's not as good as openbsd.
So, why are you giving up already? Doing so, just proof the point that
it's more talk and a waist of time for so many to help get you started.
May be you have all the good intentions in the world, but acting like
that is just convincing that it's a waist of time to do it in the first
place.
How difficult can it be to just start doing style(9) as an example and
at a minimum, this way you learn to do proper patch. Even if that's the
only thing you learn, it's already something in the right direction.
Does it mean that for doing even this, hand holding is needed too?
It's been said many times that developers are waisting their time doing
this and it doesn't produce output. Now if you act like that, you just
once more re-enforce the point that it is a waist of time.
Roll your sleeves and start simple, and see where it will lead you.
Talking and talking about it and then giving up at the first instance of
not having someone holding your hands is pretty week and only proof the
point.
Just give it a try and stop trying to put the blame on someone else not
helping getting you started.
Best,
Daniel
