zeur here!
Haai,
> I'm afraid that you are being extremely discourteous, to put it kindly.
theo started xD He even took my partner's complaint about his (theo's)
attitude public. Call me as childish as theo, but when an 'open source
leader blah blah' (not lacking a massive amount of kapsones, memight
add) voluntarily exposes himself, in a public place, as the worst random
luser, it's no wonder that he'll get his ass pwn3d. Talk about security
:)
> Do you have any idea how many scripts have been written to expect that

Ah, finally some technical discussion! Why not take it back to tech@ and
give my patches a proper hearing? Then I'll feel inclined to respond in
a 'courteous' manner, too...
> Did you consider how many log scripts I decided to just throw away when

Tja, things change. When they change for the better we shouldn't
complain, as all too often they change for the worse. And the 'tard who
uses something hideously bloated as Apache shouldn't wonder about having
to throw away lots of stuff that 'just worked' before, pfft. (Again, I
have a purely technical response, but that's for tech@, should you
indeed take the matter back there).

Fixing your script once to use -o (which it should've used all along) is
too much work, yet continuing to blunder around w/ already-broken stuff
is perfectly fine to you? Figures.
> Pay attention. Look at undeadly.org. A big change backed out.
If my patches would have to wait a major release, so people have time to
fix their junk, I'd consider that perfectly acceptable. Instead, even
the tiny patches which are expected to have no substantial consequences
are just ignored by our esteemed developer team. What kind of fscking
attitude is that?
> Your diff may be the greatest change in the history of mankind.
I already feel where your argument is going :/
> But that doesn't guarantee it will be accepted.
*Thank* *you* *bloody* *Capn* *Obvious*! (Yup, it went there. Amazing,
isn't it?)
> In other words, don't take it personally.
Of course not, it's all fair on misc@ and tech@!
> You did.
My partner did more than I did, but yeah. Personally or not, the kind
of behaviour displayed by theo & co. deserves to be stood up to.
> Get over it.
If anyone's not over it -- it ain't me. I sort-of expected the kind of
put-him-down-immediately response given to me on tech@; what I didn't
expect is theo going over the line by such a great margin.
> And keep working and submit more and different diff's.
I'm not joining your little OS project, I have my own going. When I need
to modifiy OpenBSD (or indeed any other software), and I manage to make
the modification reasonably general-purpose, I'm happy to share patches.
But I'm not going out of my way to contribute. Especially not after
being made to feel very unwelcome about a year ago.
> Diff's are ALWAYS welcome. They aren't always feasible.
And? Where's the news?
> Chris Bennett
Well, thank you for giving me this little soap box. Let's just hope
people have been paying attention.
I have other things to do.
Baai,
