I think when Debian account managers remove Debian developer status from someone who contributed a lot to KDE packages in Debian, it is fair enough for users to express their frustration with that. Muting discussion is a pattern I have seen so often in Debian that I meanwhile unsubscribed from various development related mailing lists of Debian. Also cause it hurt reading what I read there. I am not a Debian developer and this in part is cause as my motivation increased to become one I saw more and more that Debian at least in part has become a toxic environment. I do not like to be involved with the kind of politics I have seen in Debian in the last years. In my perception it certainly did not get better. That written, I don't know what it was this time. I cannot say for sure whether it was justified or not. I could try to dig it all up, but most likely after I try to read the mails related to this I would have more question marks than before. I would not be surprised if there would not at least be two sides of the story. Both perfectly valid. And the solution would have been to talk *with* one another in a constructive way. I am not (yet) ready to jump ship at the moment. Well in part I did by moving to Devuan cause of the utter failure within Debian to resolve the conflict regarding the introduction of Systemd, however, I understand perfectly well that without the activity of the Debian Qt/KDE team there would be no KDE Plasma and Co in Devuan. I am grateful for that. But at the same time I feel it is fair enough for users of KDE software in Debian to express their frustration with what happened in a *respectful* way. From what I have seen happening within Debian within the last years, I am not likely to increase my formal engagement with the project unless there would be an in-depth transformation process of the culture regarding how to handle conflict within the project. I am just not ready to deal with the amount of toxicity I have seen within the last years. There is a culture within Debian to stifle conflict instead of moving through and then resolving it, and that clearly doesn't work. Conflicts are a natural part of human relationships. It is sad, cause on the other hand I usually got along well with members of the Qt/KDE team and at least helped a bit here and there, not with packaging, but with communication with users, bug triaging and things like that. Fortunately enough KDE project mostly appears to be a much more welcoming place. It is sad to see what is happening from within Debian to Debian, but I see myself not in a position to do much about it. Best, -- Martin
Re: Future of KDE packages in Debian
Dear all, please consider that events being commented here have already happened, had consequences and it’s not like you can go back in time. Debian like most human groups has rules on how to become and stay a member of the community. If you’re interested in them you can find pointers at : https://wiki.debian.org/DAManager The discussions on this have long passed usefulness and are more and more offtopic for a Debian mailing list for KDE users. Regarding the maintenance of the KDE stack in Debian, as I wrote earlier help is very much welcome ! You’re welcome to test and report here, welcome to file bugs, welcome to step in and help update or maintain your favorite desktop and apps ! If you’re interested in packaging software for Debian you can start at : https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ and join the #debian-qt-kde IRC channel, subscribe to the pkg-kde-talk mailing list. You’re obviously also free to go some place else if you so prefer. We’re lucky that the Free and Open Source community is striving with many nice projects to use and contribute to. Also remember that there are people on the other side of your "apt update" who spend hours packaging complex software for the benefits of everyone, on their free time. Gratuitous criticism of what others choose to do or not do in a volunteer project is uncalled for, unwelcome and only going to make things worse. So please refrain from doing so and if you’re unhappy with something do come and fix it instead. :-) Happy hacking ! -- Aurélien Le dimanche 23 janvier 2022, 21:51:51 CET Rainer Dorsch a écrit : > Hi Luc, > > the DAMs decision is extremly frustrating for Debian KDE users and given the > short statement on debian-user > > https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/01/msg00807.html > > it is at least not clear to me if they seriously searched for a solution > which would have served better all involved parties and the Debian (KDE) > users.
