This rates as the best and most unprofessional response I have ever received from an author of a piece of software -- commercial or free. I guess "rude" PRs results in "rude" replies, eh? Congrats. The bottom line is, laziness is the only thing keeping you guys from finishing the job; finishing the job means, writing documentation for something before you release it: this includes betas. The one exception is your CHANGES file: it's EXCELLENT in regards to being up-to-date, and on-key. However, throwing in a directive which breaks all name-based VirtualHosts (the NameVirtualHost directive), and not even taking the simple time (10 minutes at MAX) to document the feature which can supposedly rectify the situation is pure suicide. > Swearing at us gets you nowhere. Rude PRs are not appreciated. Actually, this is the fastest reply I have *EVER* received from ANY of the Apache team. So it has gotten me somewhere as far as I'm concerned. And that's okay: inability to document functions which break previously working ones isn't appreciated either. > If you are unhappy with Apache we would much rather prefer > that you use something you may be happer with than that > you repeatedly submit rude PRs. My submissions have obviously gotten you guys riled up enough to pay attention to the situation, and do something about it. That's all that my post was intended to do. Have a nice day. -- | Jeremy Chadwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | System/Network/Security Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://yoshi.parodius.com/ "OUCH! WHAT DO YOU DO?" |
