Guys, You might have noticed that I have not committed anything recently. I'm considering leaving the team (note: not going away in a huff or to spend more time with my wife :-) - but thought I would air this first and get your reaction.
On my normal system I don't build LFS in a standard way. I don't use LFS-bootscripts, or for that matter, BLFS-bootscripts. I don't use inetd, xinetd, SysVinit or Syslog either. As a window manager I prefer OpenBox with PyPanel - Gnome and KDE are too big for me. As a mailserver (MTA) I use XMail. The parts of BLFS that I can do properly are thus a little limited. I built a standard system with GRONE to do BLFS with, but I detest using it and begrudge the time needed to understand how to configure it properly, KDE is even worse - far too much working real estate for eye candy. I look fairly often at BZ (BOOK/SVN/6.2 - NEW) and if I see anything that I could do, by the time I've researched it, someone has done it. I'm not up to researching the knotty problems (future). When there is a release pending, I guess I can do some of the version increments, but my experience is that others on the team quite often (and usually rightly) criticise my decisions - this makes me unwilling to make the attempt unless it's a very simple case. I'm not sure that there are many simple cases anymore, at least not with Xorg going modular and gcc-4. To put it simply, I just don't enjoy being an editor - and I'm embarrased that I have not felt able to do more. Maybe I'm missing something, so please help me make up my mind.
