I have only seen one user getting in the way in this thread, simply rejecting any suggestions from anybody except developers and tu's (and preferrably tell them how useless they were while at it.) I have absolutely no clue why and how that user ever became a trusted one. He can't have been acting like this all of the time for sure. > This is not your distro, this is Judd's.

I don't know how you've avoided seeing it, but the topic has clearly stated "pacman wishlist" throughout the thread. Perhaps you were too busy yelling "NO!" at other users' suggestions. Nobody has asked you to do anything. Actually I'd prefer if you didn't, because you seem as a very combative person and so far, your input in the thread has been highly unconstructive. Besides, considering your contributions to pacman so far (NULL), I doubt you have the skill to actually implement anything. > Christ. It's one complaint after another.

The thread started out as a wishlist. I have yet to see anybody require anything. IIRC you actually seemed to agree on one of the wishes, but that of course was before I said that you were being stupid when comparing PKGBUILD integration of post_install() & friends to make one file out of the entire /proc tree. Please stop carrying to extreme in every comparison you do, as it easily pisses people off which leads to useless and angry replies. > Second, we need documentation (old hat, as Bob said) which is stricly > against the Arch "Mission Statement" (stealing verbage from iphitus) > - why not go all they way against it, we'll switch it to i386 > optimized and use slapt-get and patch everything all to hell! I don't think this one is for me. However: Please stop carrying to extreme in every comparison you do, as it easily pisses people off which leads to useless and angry replies. > And now, as if there wasn't enough cruft in this ML thread, we have > to go and complain about KDE artwork. That was a small complaint, but it was only mentioned as an example of places where the Arch "Mission Statement" are completely ignored without any serious reason but still are widely accepted. > It's almost like you people are looking for something to complain > about. (Repeating of line 4:) > Like someone above stated, Arch doesn't get in the way. That someone was me, so I don't think the above is true. By writing wishlist in the subject of both this thread and all four Flyspray tasks (which ofcourse was marked as feature requests) I kinda hoped it wouldn't be taken as complaints. I'm sorry that it did. Yours truly, Mark _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
