Continuing about "it is not acceptable to use _my idea_", i am kind of surprise to see that I am not anymore in the group of people thinking initially about the problem and actively involved in the discussion. Since the date i started to work on OoD i keep this kind of idea in mind, try to speak about it (basic tools, not so well defined that opkgc for which Erich proposed a simple and clear definition, are already available for OoD)... but it seems that people only remember what they want to remember, as usual. Personally i think this is not important points, let's code and make OSCAR better. BTW I am not even sure that Jean wanted to say "This is MY idea", i am pretty sure that he wanted to say "The current approach i plan to implement is...". And i think that before to start to be agressive a better way is to contact the person and try to figure out what he wanted to say... FYI, i did not reuse one line from my virtualization work, the code comes from OoD and some of my old projects (e.g. master project).
