Sorry, it wasn't due to no response to Peter's thing, it was in fact mostly separate and prompted by a few other things. I was somewhat pissed because I was believing I was doing the right thing, that would be to not post very trivial patches to the list to avoid unnecessary noise. And mainly because it was clearly a single person taking a (well, don't know the correct english word, lets try) instinctive decision; lifes are lost due to these kinds of reactions... The other reason I have been pissed for quite some time, is that I believe I am being a victim of some misunderstanding or something, maybe because I am extremely shy :-) Talk to anybody that knows me personally, I talk only the minimum necessary :-) And maybe someone thought I am being evil, but yes, I am still an advocate of a GPL'ed X Window System Paulo, I really like your patches and am glad that someone is going through and doing the janitor work as well as some of the bigger patches you've done. However, sometimes I wish you would slow down and send patches to the list if they might cause breakage. I know that's subjective because it's tough to say whether something is trivial or not. Nothing personal. :) -- Dan ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

The problem in xf86-input-evdev was that I only tested the make distcheck correction using --prefix=/usr. I don't disagree that for this special case, given that xf86-input-evdev is actively maintained by you and Peter, it would have been better to first post the janitor patch to the list for comments and approval. I even added a comment of what would be a more proper solution (exactly what Dan Nicholson said in another email), but it still is not what I believe is the proper solution to handle pkg-config variables specifying directories (unfortunately I did not implement that because the simpler, but wrong solution, worked in my test case). I avoided making the make distcheck corrections in a batch so that if any problems arised, it would be noticed earlier. And posting a huge amount of frequently one liners, trivial patches, would just add gratuitous noise to the list. Well, I just hope this is not the final response for voluntary work on correcting make distcheck and other trivial problems in the xorg packages.
