If you don't read the changelog, then what's the point in patching? You should only patch for a reason. And the reason is in the changelog... > B) previous version of HLG didnt require that you verify the version. > You extracted, fired it up and if it didnt crash you were good2go. Are you sure it didn't require a verification? How would you know if you didn't verify? All it takes is a "meta list" to see what version it reports. Production verification is one of the most fundamental steps in change management. > C) Get off your elitist plateau, super admin guy.

I've probably been hanging on the qmail lists for too long - they contribute to bad attitude and unhelpful responses. But then, this list has been pretty bad lately too. > D) none of that excuses out of date install documentation on the site. No, out of date documentation comes as a result of free software where the team making the software can't find a volunteer to update the readme file. I used to (for a very brief period) lead the ClanMod doc team so I know what that's like. I had a team of four and after running the team for about two months, I had done 100% of the documenting on my own before I gave up trying to keep up with the changes and the pressure to meet the next release deadline. It's not easy getting these programs together. It's even less easy getting people who are willing to write. Everybody wants to be a 1337 coder and the docs suffer. You might offer to contribute if you think you can help. -Mad _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
