Complaining TWICE worked. The problem I complained about shouldn't
have happened in the first place; someonex fixed something that wasn't
broken and made it broken.
Your response is absolutely typical of my problem with the gentoo dev
community. You misstate a complaint, overreact to it, and apparently
feel pretty smug about your accomplishment. No one will admit to the
two screwups (first breaking a working ebuild, second incorrectly
closing a bug on it). Instead you lash out at those who point out
problems.
Yes, I had the wrong program when I compalined about the color
problem. But the gentoo community response then as now was to lash
out, scream and shout, not to actually investigate. And when I
finally left the thread alone, you geniuses were still ranting about
it three days later when I next checked.
You folks may think you have a cool system, and it is in some ways and
could be in many others. But I know many people who tried gentoo and
bailed precisely because of the shoot the messenger mentality so
pervasive here; the self-selected sample you see is meaningless.
Go ahead, have another three days' fun. Maybe I'll spark some more
tinders in a month or two. I wouldn't want to deprive you of your
fun.
