Hi all, I feel a bit sorry about the email I sent out the other day. I was a bit overheated, and I think this email content was a bit of exaggeration for the real problems at hand. It is true that there were some pending changes for a while (4-5 out of the 200-300 or more?), but rethinking it with a fresh mind, it is not that bad, and there were some changes from Laszlo which got blocked by us.
I have forgotten to mention that it was a previous policy (not decided by Laszlo, but me and Sergey, so he cannot be blamed for that) that we all three (me, Laszlo, and Sergey) need to like a change to go in. Reconsidering this policy now with a fresh mind, I revoke the bad faith I had in my previous email due to some hot frustration. He just had a different technical opinion about certain changes, which is fine, and based on our previous policy, disagreements inherently caused blocking for some changes. It is also fine to be a bit absent at times due to health and other priorities. As written, there were only 4-5 changes pending for a longer period than usual (including changes from both of us), so we accepted now after a project meeting what Laszlo proposed that I will try to make a hopefully not biased final decision in those cases. Since, it is actually only the minority, it will not change too much, but at least those changes will not get stuck, and we can move on easier. Apologies if it had caused any bad reputation to Laszlo. He does not deserve that because of some misunderstanding, and maybe a non-working policy we tried to apply. He helped to review a lot of my changes to make them better, or support them, and he also made a lot of changes himself to make this library progress ahead. I think we forgot the good moments for a bit which sometimes needs to be pointed out as well. Luckily, that is the majority. So, all in all, there is no issue currently unresolved, and the project will move on fine. Sorry again, frustration can sometime draw up issues to look bigger than they actually are. Thus, I changed the mind and made the decision to remain and continue to keep the project. So - do not worry! :) Best regards, Denis 18.09.2013, 14:15, "Denis Shienkov" <[email protected]>: > Hello All. > > I am the main maintainer of the project QtSerialPort (at least I him was > earlier), > and I made the decision to leave the project. > > The Reason is banal: I have different points of view with the person Laszlo > Papp - we won't work > well together, alas... > > After I added this person to the project and provided it the rights approving > - it gradually > started blocking made changes as mine, and other people without a good reason > (in my opinion). > > He considers that its judgement - is truth and permanently ignores judgement > of other people > about some issues.
