nope, not very good at it. I could sugar coat my opinions. I could be less blunt. on the other hand... every time I ask something I'm met with 'why?' or 'do this instead'. why is it every time I ask something I'm met with 'why?'? instead of oh... here's what you asked for. Half of what I've asked is stuff that would normally be documented. Code != documentation. I'm beginning to understand why java is the most unmaintained section of our repository. > we aren't attempting to control everything, nor have we made it > complicated.

I can understand this... why not fork them then if cfml needs something different? actually sounds like what you've done... you just haven't made them into there own projects. here's the thing... to package it up for the distro I'd prefer to do things in the 'correct' way. for varying definitions of correct, where correct here is defined as how 'gentoo' wants them done. Regen2 currently contains 14163 packages in 150 categories. Giving use one of the largest package repositories in existance, heck, I'm hoping to beat... was it debian? that had some 15000. of the 14163 I would guess that 14000 of them are built from source and most of the depend on some shared library or another. gentoo distro's are source distro's to install a new package means to install from source and almost entirely from source. I don't like the idea of not building the libraries you use from source even though I'm sure they are open source. how do you suggest we proceed with getting this package into this set of distributions? Because I am truly interested in having openbd (or really any package) available for install. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
