 result in more googling rather than thinking hard and having knowledge about

 have to think hard about what else is needed and consult documentation without
 knowing exactly what he is looking for. If needed the mentor can help out with
 points like that, but if at all possible it should be initially answered by 
 the
 recruit.

 So please, let's not make the quiz into a set of yes/no questions(an
 exaggeration I know, but still the same effect).
   
While I agree with the sentiment, I think the original wording is too
far away from

Chris Gianelloni wrote:
 I really have to agree with you.  The proctors have completely lost

 anything, which was the reason for their creation.  Rather, what they
 *have* done is stifle conversation, piss off people, get in the way of
 Developer Relations reports, and otherwise making developers feel like
 they don't want to participate in our official discussion channels.

 What do I think needs to be done?

 The proctors project needs to go away.  It simply wasn't implemented in
 the way the Council had hoped and has proven to be more harmful than the
 original problems to morale and inter-developer trust.  While the
 individual members might be doing what they think is best and trying
 their best, they've failed at the goals of improving our communications

Re: [gentoo-dev] RFC Package name additions

Rather then analyze the proposed solution, I'd like to

all the different intermediate development sort of releases
in our tree?

William L. Thomson Jr. wrote:
 After reviewing 

 http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/index.html#file-naming-rules


 I still seem to be having to finagle version names for some packages. At
 the moment it would be nice if we also had the following suffixes
 available

 _dev
 Apache upstream, specifically Tomcat/mod_jk tends to do developer
 snapshots that they then host out of developer space. People do fetch
 bins and source from there for testing. It's kinda pre-release, so I
 have been using _pre where I would use _dev, but _pre does not make much
 sense.

 _build
 Other packages seem to do constant builds (weekly) of the same version.
 For example Glassfish (Sun's FOSS J2EE stuff). It's sources are v2-b39.
 So would be nice to be able to do like glassfish-servlet-api-2_build39

 _snapshot
 This one is kinda universal in it's name/implication. Would be for any
 sort of upstream snapshot release, that might not be versioned as such.
 Short of the name snapshot being some where.

 The above would then follow the rest of the normal schema, where in they
 could still be suffixed by a number, or not.

 Hierarchy would be the following

 snapshot - dev - build - alpha - beta 

 Or at least that's my thoughts on it. Time for others thoughts, much
 less those that will make it so. Not expecting it to get done or be
 available any time soon. Would be suffice if they were just accepted and
 planned for inclusion at some point.

 IMHO I think it should be up to the package maintainer how close they

 I know when I am developing stuff, it's way easier to address during the
 process rather than after the fact.

 But if there are any policies or etc. I surely do not want to be
 breaking them. Also this is not broken or really experimental stuff. If
 it was I would either p.mask, or put in an overlay.

 Although I feel things tend to get the greatest exposure and chance of
 user testing and feedback, if it's in tree
There is a bit of contradiction in what you said there.
Either the package is well tested, and should go into the tree, first
with ~arch keywords, and then eventually with arch keywords, or
it is experimental, and as such has to be outside of our main tree.

Thus you can either want to test stuff by giving it more exposure,
which implies the stuff is experimental, or you have stable stuff,
but then you shouldn't be talking about the development cycle of the
said software.

That's an interesting idea. It would be nice to have a discussion ML, which

logic rules.

Ensuring that rule is followed could be done in a few different ways.
One example:
There would be a small group overseeing discussion, and, solely on the
basis of formal logic rules, would, for example, suspend a person for a day,
in case of violations.

Of course, enforcement rules could be slightly more complex. i.e.
2-hour ban for any ad-hominem attack. Two warnings for logic errors,
day ban for third one. Or something. These are details that need to
be worked out, tested, re-hashed, etc.

This would result in a list that would force people to discuss the actual

Oh, and another idea is to have somewhat more real-time debates

their arguments and counter-arguments. If a participant repeatedly
fails to answer opponent's arguments according to formal logic rules,
he is denied further turns to speak.

 Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps there *is* a collective desire to decide
 things in long ML threads.
I don't remember saying anything about _long_ ML threads.
There are very few discussions, that can be carried for a long time
when logic and technical side of arguments are strictly followed.
However, with that said, I see nothing wrong with long threads,
as long as parties involved progress, instead of repeating their own
arguments over and over again or resorting to personal attacks
(both of which are against formal logic rules).
  Though I can't recall when it was the last
 time I've seen that happen, anywhere.
   
Given that you are answering something I didn't say, this point
becomes irrelevant.

(simple example of logic error).
 IMHO, this list would just lead people to boredom and desubscription.
   
This list wouldn't be optional. This list would be a place where

 How well have you tested? It used to have issues on real SMP systems
 with lots of CPUs (-j32), which is why I ask...

 Is this really desired behaviour?

 Once we decide that, I'll have a testsuite we can use. It's written for
 Paludis, but easily portable.

   
Yes, it's desired behavior. I can't think of half-measure as being
useful - either
drop it completely, or implement full wildcard support.

[gentoo-dev] Keys and words: ways to fail your team

2005-06-28 Thread Ilya A. Volynets-Evenbakh
Comrades!

Once more, I come before you with sad tidings. Evil anti-gentoo
conspirators are plotting to destroy our
wonderful distribution. Yet again they tried to subvert quality and
integrity of our distribution by falsely
claiming that certain packages build and run *gasp* stable *gasp* on
platforms said saboteurs apparently
do not even have access to.

This time many packages in dev-dotnet were marked testing / stable on
all arches, but thanks to the
valiant struggles of our tireless arch teams, at least SPARC and MIPS
have now been rescued from the
iniquity of the apostate traitors on the x86 monoarchist payroll. Other
arches have also been warned, and
hopefully will be in time to save themselves, or at least recover the
damages in timely manner.

Comrades!

For how long will we tolerate these wreckers among us? How much more
patience shall we show?
It is about time to stop such behavior once and for all! Let us join
against the forces of evil and deal
it a crushing defeat!

Death to vermin!

Good.

 but I have a dev in the
dotnet herd who's really pretty upset right now as a result of such
apparently scathing comments accusing him of being an evil conspirator,
a wrecker, and traitor, when it wasn't even *him* who introduced the
keywords in question, he did a by the book bump moving arch - ~arch for
all arches listed in keywords.
  

Book in question sort of presumes that ones who change keywords
*personally* tested that package in question works. You set keyword,
you sign the life of your first-born that it will work. Or at least that's
the way it should be.

I understand that this is a consistent problem, and that we constantly
have to deal with breakages like this, but please don't send emails
like this with so many accusations without at least talking to the herd
lead, or viewing CVS history first.
  

This *is* a consistent problem. But it shouldn't be. QA. Should. Be. Done.

I like dealing with the mess of pissed off and enflamed developers as
much as the arch teams like dealing with bad QA, so next time, please
use at least a *little* subtlty before blowing things up.
  

Grow up people, I didn't even say names. To say more - I'm far more upset
about person who introduced keywords.

Anyway, I'm glad all the arch teams, who are the one's that never screw
up and save us all, are fixing things.
  

Yeap. What would you do without us. At least I get yelled at only once for
technical mistakes I make.

/sarcasm
  

Oh, since we have to indicate jokes/sarcasm now:

LOPATA.
