By packages I guess you mean the Windows binaries that you build? I'm not talking so much about individual users who download binaries but about downstream distributors, since that's how Paul started the topic. Build problems are of course irrelevant for everyone who consumes binaries. > Please stop pretending you know everything, stop acting as if you know > The Truth and - most of all - stop pretending you speak for everyone. You really don't seem to be interested in understanding what I want to communicate. I do not pretend to know everything nor to speak for everyone. What I do have however, and what you might lack, is decades of experience from many different open source projects, including kernel and distributions. > The most important fact is that all you do is complain and give "-2" in > gerrit, after which you NEVER visit a change Sorry, but there's no way for you to know that for a fact. :) I've looked at updates but often the things I've pointed out haven't been addressed and then the -2 of course remains. > (and ONLY you have that insulting attitude). Really - I am some person on the internet, why would you feel insulted by me? See http://xkcd.com/386/ I point out problems if I see them and I give both bad and good scores in gerrit according to what I review. I give +2 and submit commits when they are good. It does happen with some commits, but maybe they were always authored by others.. > At the same time you tell us about your quest against faulty software. .. > you say something and then do something COMPLETELY opposite I understand if you're upset about hearing that someone doesn't like your work if you honestly believe that you can never do better, but I don't understand why me pointing out problems is the opposite of me trying to help make software better. We can't fix a problem unless we understand it. > while for someone who does not know the whole picture your attitude > may seem to be like "a noble knight in a shiny armor on a white horse". This makes no sense at all to me. > You think the release process is broken - propose an alternative, I did that long ago, and reminded you about it in my last email. > send patches to the release process description (the doxygen docs). I also reminded you that we already know that there isn't really strong consensus on using that process, which somehow makes it pointless to suggest changes to the documentation. I'd hope that discussion is a better approach.. > You think 0.7.0 is so massively broken - work on a change. I'd like to think that I have, by pointing out that the problem is important. Paul already proposed solutions for the problems as you might know. Maybe you overlooked them. I would have tested them if I could. > You think OpenOCD has so many problems - work on fixing them > instead of repeating that over and over again. Yes and no. On one hand I do like to, but on the other hand I've given up a bit on OpenOCD. I don't think it will really be all that it could. I keep hoping though.. > Finally - .. > you show us how much you don't care for anything and happily merge > changes this time and during previous release something similar > happened too... I'm quite the nasty person, aren't I? So annoying when there is "progress" but it is different from how you would prefer! > This discussion is worthless as all you can do is write lengthy > messages and complain, showing everyone how Wrong they are, while > not doing ANYTHING to improve the situation. Writing emails is communication and indeed not programming. You already know that I can work on code, but if I can write some quick emails with feedback and can share my thoughts about problems and solutions then probably I have accomplished much more than I can do with code in the same amount of time. You may be the type who will not be satisfied unless I do your job for you, better than you usually do it, and still pay you but that's not really realistic. > Show us that you actually DO something - go here and re-review That's fair - I did notice that there were updates. I can't help but wonder how you would feel if I had given that change +2 and submitted it after you had frozen development? > Over and out! Too bad if you're not interested in communication and discussion.
