@Brian: no biterness there but we have too much to do and I'm not interested to investigate what mint might or might not hack to our packages, some replies though:
> Heck, Mint is not even a fork but simply a layer of packages on top of Ubuntu Linux -- really, no different than installing a bunch of packages out of a PPA. Do you simply refuse to support Ubuntu Linux packages simply because a PPA may have installed some unrelated packages? We do reject report coming from ppa users (including the official GNOME3 ppa) yes, we don't have the resources to try to figure what might happen with non supported combinaison Mint also happen to do very hackish things (like patching files installed by packages on boot from init script, that's how they change their user agent in firefox for example to avoid repackaging it), we know of a few hacks like that and I don't trust them to not create real issues with those If Mint was not a fork they would just package cinnamon and mate in a ppa or in Ubuntu universe and create an Ubuntu flavor for it the way Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc are doing, you liking it or not what they are doing is forking the distribution rather than collaborating with us. > You can see clearly from the apport output that this report is for an > "unmodified" gnome-keyring package straight out of your own repositories: > Package: gnome-keyring 3.2.2-2ubuntu4 No, I can't, see comment #1 "modified.conffile..etc.xdg.autostart.gnome.keyring.gpg.desktop.txt modified.conffile..etc.xdg.autostart.gnome.keyring.pkcs11.desktop.txt modified.conffile..etc.xdg.autostart.gnome.keyring.secrets.desktop.txt modified.conffile..etc.xdg.autostart.gnome.keyring.ssh.desktop.txt" those are modified conffiles > So, are you really going to play this sour grapes game or are you going to do the right thing here? Depends what you call the right thing, I'm going to focus on supporting Ubuntu users and let the Mint team supports their users, it seems only fair? Why would forking and not assuming the responsability which come with the fork be "right"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033904 Title: memory leak in gnome-keyring-daemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1033904/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
