This is a clear management tool to say "we are not going to do this". Unlike the comment "Show us it working and we'll think about it" which is positive, "write a proposal document" is, to a software project, management speak that means "we will put up barriers to avoid any change". I get the message.

I've used scons and I liked it the best of any build tools. I have actually been known to work on SCons from time to time over the last decade, and whilst it is still very good for straightforward C, C++, Fortran, D and LaTeX builds, it is beginning to lag behind in addressing some aspects of build, particularly configuration. CMake and SCons(, and Waf) clearly led to Meson which is a Ninja configuration system in the way CMake is a Make configuration system. > But in the context of geeqie, I'd say don't fix it as long as it's > not > broken. If it breaks, we can return to this discussion. An approach I find disappointing in a FOSS project, but it seems the view of all those who ventured a view. Which is fine, it is the project that belongs to those who work on it. I just think that this "don't fix the unbroken" is a route to technical debt. Anyway given the gently hostile reaction to my email, I shall now just go away. -- Russel. ========= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ___ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel

Debian Sid and Fedora Rawhide both have 1.2.2 which doesn't do dark theme properly. Given I am compiling locally, I might as well compile head rather than the release, then at least I can report problems I see. -- Russel. ===== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.

[Geeqie-devel] Git repository workflow
Hi, I have probably failed to correctly search the archive, but… Is the Git repository on www.geeqie.org the mainline and the one on GitHub (https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie) a mirror or is the one on GitHub the mainline and the one on www.geeqie.org a mirror? -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
