Re: [Fwd: Re: Appropriateness of posts to this list (Was Re: evince crash)]
developers aren't aiming their efforts in helping the advancement of free solutions. I can go on about this forever. You are right when you say the customer is #1, and this is of course, like I said, the golden rule of business, a money making business. The tide is different when a great majority of your workers are providing their time, knowledge, and everything else for absolutely free (there are the exceptions of course, people like me who enjoy the freeness I have by using a free operating system). A month or so back Scott and I had a similar conversation in IRC and I was upset about it, but after sitting back and thinking about it, I can see his point and understand it. We all have our egos and that's what makes all of us unique. We are all customers of our own creations, so making us happy should also be an important rule. If we aren't happy, then nobody will be happy. So unlike a typical business, their has to be some give-and-take with the free software community, at least a happy medium. So far it has worked for Ubuntu as well as many other distrobutions. Scott, I do have a problem with the document you linked to about asking smart questions. Most of the answers I have seen in there are stupid answers or stupid solutions. I was always raised with the idea that there isn't a such thing as a stupid question, and I believe that. Just because most of us know to Google this or that, or know how to find solutions, that doesn't mean that every Tom, Dick, and Harry does. I have a professor who has multiple degrees (Bachelors (couple of them), Masters (up there with those too), and PhDs), yet he asks his students for help researching information online because he isn't as savvy as some of the students, that doesn't make any of his questions stupid. I say burn that smart questions document, as it is obviously from the 90s with the STFW and RTFM type assessments. Its a miracle that the community has survived through all of that stuff and not driven more people away. OK, /end here :) -- Richard A.

Fwd: Bug 114503
#NOTE: I sent this to the kubuntu-devel list initially, and was informed I should I have CC'd this list. Thanks. -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/114503 This is an annoying little sucker and I wanted some input on this. It would be rather simple to fix actually. Here is the depends for the language-support-fi (this goes for all language-support-*): Depends: mozilla-firefox-locale-fi-fi, openoffice.org-l10n-fi, thunderbird-locale-fi, tmispell-voikko, libenchant-voikko, openoffice.org-voikko, openoffice.org-hyphenation Recommends: language-pack-fi Here are the depends for mozilla-firefox-locale-fi-fi: Depends: firefox | language-support-fi Conflicts: firefox ( 1.99), firefox ( 2.0.999) Here are the depends for thunderbird-locale-fi: Depends: mozilla-thunderbird | language-support-fi Conflicts: thunderbird ( 1.4.99), thunderbird ( 1.5.z999) -- Wouldn't it make sense to make the Firefox and Thurnderbird locale packages to Suggest: Firefox and Thunderbird instead of depending on them? With it depending on the, people are getting Firefox and Thunderbird when isntalling their locales. This isn't right :/ -- Richard A. Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key: 0x2E2C0124 -- Richard A.
