As someone who started using Arch back when it was unknown, I do think it's going through growing pains. It is unwieldy right now. The FreeBSD port maintainer system is one that basically works. You first write the maintainer, if you don't get an answer after awhile you send in a PR using a template they've created and then, nine times out of ten, it gets done. (A good 7-8 times out of ten, a note to the port's maintainer gets the problem fixed. So, you're only sending a PR 2-3 times out of ten, then out of that ten....oh, never mind, I digress.) The contributor line doesn't hurt, but more important is the maintainer line. Now, if the maintainer disappears, it'd be nice if there were something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] where one could send an email saying, I've written the maintainer but had no response, blah blah. Anyway, some of the ideas were good, IMHO, and should be considered. What is practical and what isn't is obviously a different story, especially in what is still a labor of love. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Cordelia: I do what I want to do.
