Hi Jason,

Your rant shows you didn't grasp the point of my earlier email.

And your responses show that you didn't grasp the point of mine.

You seem to still be under the impression that I expect you to continue supporting CMake 2.4.5, no matter what. Let me be clear here:

*If you don't want to support CMake 2.4.5 anymore, then by all means don't support it*

As I said, we don't have any money to pay you. If you consider it too expensive to maintain, then drop it. We'll be fine with 2.8.0 until we can get a newer version of CMake. I personally find it hard to believe that maintaining RHEL 5 support is any harder than maintaining, say, IRIX support, but I'm not the one doing the maintenance, so what I believe is irrelevant.

If support for CMake 2.4.5 is contingent upon me alone testing every release that you put out, I cannot make any promises to do that. I'll do what I can, but I cannot guarantee anything. I like my job, and I intend to keep it.

I've already said that I'll try to set up a CDash target for the trunk here in the lab. Hopefully that's enough to satisfy your needs.

As far as gratitude, look, I'm not looking for a trophy or anything. I just think that your contributors should be given a little respect. I just thought you were out of line with the way you characterized me in your last e-mail. You made it sound like I'm taking OSG and using it and expecting you to handle all my needs without me giving anything back. Nothing could be farther from the truth, and I just didn't appreciate being painted in that light.

I could say more, but I'd rather see this thread die. It's stressing me out.
