Quoting Blake McBride <bl...@mcbride.name>:
Agreed. You also don't owe your grocer, your tailor, or your gas station attendant anything either. There is personal gain we all get by shared contribution.
I've selected grocers, tailors, and gas station attendants based on technical merit. How am I to value your input?
I would be much more interested in producing and providing patches if I wasn't in such fear of upsetting the Plan-9 philosophy. (That is if improvements were sufficient.)
Your total lack of effort in understanding Plan 9 philosophy deftly removes any interest I may have had in your programming output. Your fear is your own problem.
I am very, very happy to understand technical reason why things are the way they are. I am also humble enough to know that there is a hell of a lot I can learn from all of you and Plan-9. Hitting roadblocks with "that's the way it works and should work" gives me nothing (yes, the nothing you owe me).
Your humility expresses itself in strange ways, particularly when you arrive in a cloud of smoke, not having read even the most immediately relevant documentation, to tell us that mk is broken because it does not work like make. You won't do it, but I recommend reading the entire post history of 9fans. You will see yourself in several posts throughout the years, as well as techincal discussions you would find illuminating. A large part of the reticence you're running into here is the fact that all of this has been discussed to death, frequently to very little profit. khm
