Hi all, well in the world of Open source we find some people who doesnt want to improve things and keep things as how they were formed !.....the reply from my friend Robert is disgusting and is really hard to digest by entirely calling a member of LFS team completely stupid.
i hope the moderator of this group replies.......... Robert if U have used LFS for LEARNING , u cant tell others also to use LFS for the same....and do mind ur language......this is a public mail........am not a noob in linux nor moron as u have written...IF U DONT LIKE WHATS GOING ON, PLS QUIT, DONT PUT OTHER's HOPES DOWN... i hope u do remember Eric Raymond's words... "Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite and reuse" i dont bother whether u fall into this category, but i do fall into this category so, LFS IS AS SAID"YOUR DISTRO,YOUR RULES"..... with regards, C.C.Chakkaradeep On 5/26/05, Robert Lee Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2005-25-05 at 14:37 +0530, Chakkaradeep C C wrote: > > Hi, > > > > so being this case...why hasnt LFS not gone for a Package > > Management??...pls dont tell it is "Your Distro,Your Rules" becoz > > unless something is reliable and stable one wont afford for > > it.......so answering as YDYR would be vague!....or can v use Emerge > > in LFS??....using and re-suing is open source rite?.... > > > > have anybdy integrated Emerge in LFS??....... > > > > with regards, > > C.C.Chakkaradeep > > Are you a complete moron? > > Don't you have a clue about LFS?
