Stephen, I don’t think this is called for. Peter is being somewhat vehement (as are you) but I don’t think anything he’s said counts as bullying or is otherwise out of bounds in a technical discussion. > My expertise extends to the knowledge that what Dr Hipp has written is of > the best interest of all the BILLIONS of devices that are out in the field Argument by appeal to authority isn’t a good idea here. I’m sure Dr Hipp doesn’t consider himself infallible (even if he is a doctor), and part of the reason for open development is to catch the mistakes and incorrect assumptions that all of us are prone to. I have some modest knowledge of computer security, and I know it’s vulnerable to very, very subtle design errors that can leave openings for attack. (Security bugs are unique in that they are not triggered randomly, but are actively hunted down and exploited by human-level intelligences.) It’s in everyone’s best interest that any security related issues in the design be thoroughly debated before this is released. > If there is an aspect of this software you do not like, fork it, and write > your own code to remove what Dr Hipp and his team has put into the code. Again, this is unhelpful. We all understand the basics of open source development. Forking isn’t a solution, it’s an admission of failure. —Jens _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
