> Come on lxnay, who are you trying to fool here?

Oh for crying out loud, Pierre.  How paranoid!

Luca - questioning Gentoo's HR shouldn't elicit insults about pigs and
trolls.  This behavior suggests you are too easy to piss off in the
first place.  I'm not going to bother with pointwise pseudo-rebuttals
that amount to not listening.

I am an experienced developer.  The proof is in the pudding.  If Gentoo
gains more devs than it loses, and the bugzilla shrinks faster than it
grows, then I will change my mind.  Anyway you're clearly set in your
ways!  Good luck!

Empty rhetoric.

monkeys and paper weights get CVS rights.  Then the chief architect of
Sabayon is scotched over bugzilla output?  Please.  That smells like bad

No, any people is welcome to contribute to gentoo, as long rules are 
respected. IFF you want to be a dev, you MUST do the quizzes. It takes 
about one day (5 hours) to do them all if you want.



When someone as expert as this offers help, take it and make him a fast
lane.


Nobody proved us he is an expert. You shouldn't assume.


He is worth ten bugzillas.


Are they in the same tune of internets?


Like a scientist once told me - it would be inefficient for him to clean
his office, they have janitors for that.


Bad example and non consequential. (BTW: pigs do not count as scientists)


Bugzillas are broken and most Linux people know it.


Issue tracking is the _ONLY_ way to make sure at least you know what is 
going on.



Ubuntu has hundreds of bugs sitting around for years and years.


And? We aren't Ubuntu, yet knowing that you have long opened bugs is way 
better than being oblivious about them (and nothing is preventing others 
to propose fixes)



Personally: I have stopped filing bugzillas at various places.


Please quit as well exploiting our software.


Projects organized around bugzillas are inefficient.


Care to backing up this claim? Issue tracking is needed.


Bugzillas are mostly good for non-devs to report bugs.  I know zero
developers who first think to themselves, "ok, I need a project
bugzilla...then I can begin writing code."  That isn't how development
works.


You aren't a developer, for LScube I FIRST set up git roundup(it's an 
issue tracker like bugzilla) and a completely new website, then I 
managed to get mailing lists and irc channel.



"So you don't have time to file bugs but you would have time to fix
them" is rhetoric.  The issue is ROI.  Why file bugzillas that some
"dev" authority figure may or may not fix in two years, when you can fix
the code yourself?


You aren't following... IFF you want to be a dev you apply for it like 
any other guy interested. IFF you want a bug fixed you report it 
properly using the tools for that: bugzilla.



If you want to call him a Gentoo developer, then do so ASAP, and give
him CVS.  He knows what he is doing and filing bugzillas is a waste of
talent.  If you let him fix his own bugzillas he might go for that.


You aren't supposed to know anything since you:
- are a gentoo newcomer (welcome btw)
- you don't know anything about Sabayon


Gentoo needs the manpower and blowing it off with HR excuses is really,
really dumb.


Informed judgments are better, isn't it.


I can hardly believe what I'm reading.


Me too.


It makes me want to cry.


Take a tissue.


Maybe I should help Sabayon deploy on PowerPC instead of writing to you guys.


You are free to do whatever you want.


I don't really care who misunderstood whom, or who has an attitude problem.
There needs to be a red carpet for people like this.


NO, he managed to piss off MOST of the developers, he hadn't prove 
himself to us beside being a legend on #gentoo-releng, he exploited our 
work giving headaches back like people lying about their setup on bugzilla.



I would not care if he had a 666 on his head.


I'm not discussing his fashion tastes.


You need to attract people like this and if bugzilla isn't working,
think up something new.


No, we don't need people rushing solutions that may or may not be:
- half backed
- clashing with the Gentoo way (the 3-4 things that make working with 
Gentoo different than working on say... Debian rebuilding apt packages)



If you dislike his CVS mods you can always revert, take votes, etc.  But
I say +1 let him have at it.


Doesn't work like that, our cvs must be stable, you have a relatively 
narrow window between syncs to the mirrors and if you make a mistake and 
don't fix it within that time, users will suffer.

 Sorry, but look up humour in a dictionary of your choice.  The guy
with the paperweight has been a valuable contributor to the Alpha port
including preparing the releases for that architecture.  If you had read
his announcement completely you would have seen what kind of service he
provided for the project...for years!

 No, same rights for everybody.  Even Daniel Robbins (founder of
Gentoo) took the quizees the normal way. when he returned.

 As long as somebody cares about the bugs, it works quite well...if
nobody responds to them, any system is useless.

 Sometimes I do commits in other project's garden...because I need a

change so somebody can stop me.

2008-03-14 Thread Gilles Dartiguelongue
I've haven't finished reading this thread so excuse if some points here
have been written already.

 1. You think that because you work everyday with gentoo on your own
variant should automatically grant you CVS access. This is _not_
possible. It has already been said, the only way to get access CVS is to
take on the quizzes and this is for far too many good reasons. If you
can't leave with that, then I'm sorry but imho things won't move on this
front in the foreseeable future.

 2. You don't like the attitude of devs playing with you on #gentoo-dev,
seriously, did you stay on this channel long enough to _not_ find how
devs are interacting together. We play with each other pretty much each
day and no-one takes offense (or at least not too often :D). Please
relax and hear the arguments not the playing.

I probably forgot some points I wanted to expose but these are the roots
of the rest I believe.

As the others said, you can either group them together, or as I noted
previously, you can use Bugzilla templates. I think the templates are
going to be a better option for you, based on not being able to see what
you meant about lzo, x264-svn and attr.

Hopefully this URL won't break, as I'm deliberately not shortening it to
show you a template:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux&version=2007.0&component=Applications&rep_platform=All&op_sys=Linux&priority=P2&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&alias=&bug_file_loc=&short_desc=Please%20stabilize%20&comment=Target%20keywords%3A%20%0D%0A%0D%0ATest%20procedure%3A%20FEATURES%3Dtest%20emerge%20%0D%0A%0D%0ATest%20procedure%3A%20FEATURES%3D-test%20emerge%0D%0A%28compile-test%20only%29&commentprivacy=0&keywords=STABLEREQ&dependson=&blocked=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&form_name=enter_bug&assigned_to=robbat2%40gentoo.org

From the advanced bug filing page, write in a lot of the content that
you want, and then use the button on the button 'Remember values as
bookmarkable template'.

If it takes you 5 minutes to file a bunch of near identical bugs,
something is wrong. The above is my core URL for filing stable bugs.
With a little bit of magic, you can pre-populate every field (eg look at
the KEYWORDS+metadata and work out 'CC' automatically), and then just
fill in a little bit of unique description if needed for each one.
The only time it takes me more than 30 seconds to file a bug requesting
stabilization on one of my packages is if I want to write a detailed
testplan.

I might found around 150-200 bugs on (R)DEPEND. Take 200 on about 6500
packages we have in our repository, if I take 5 minutes each, I'd end

Then open a reduced number of bugs, say one per portage category that 
has over 20 bugs and group the rest in a one or 2 other bug reports.


Then bug wranglers can start sifting through the list to see if you've 
been smoking crack or not and add relevant herds/arch teams/maintainers 
as CC to those bugs to get them fixed.


I've done this before on a much smaller scale (20+ packages) and others 
have too for other issues (eg. Flameeyes with WANT_AUTO* which started 
out as a huge list of 100+ packages) and this process has always worked 
fine so far.


> To build my previous list, I took about 30

minutes, it's not that big, but even that small.
So, what I just wanted to try to build up is a fast lane.


Bugzilla is still the fastest lane around. We're not the LKML, bugzilla 
_is_ our primary tool.



When I say "I don't have time", it means that I can't waste my time
fighting with some of you just because you have the knife in your hand
and like to make fun of me.


Honestly, this is borderline paranoia. Most of us get bug reports from 
people we've never heard of, living in countries we've never been to, 
with ages and social backgrounds that we don't even know (or care) about.


And I have yet to see a Gentoo dev closing a bug as 
WONTFIXBECAUSEIDONTLIKEYOU. :)



BTW, It's funny to see the difference of attitudes from here and IRC,
let me underline that :) So this is a neutral ground.


I'll add that Bugzilla is also very neutral, even more so than mailing 
lists AFAICS.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: Help offered - Portage tree

2008-03-13 Thread Fabio Erculiani
What I just need is respect.
I might found around 150-200 bugs on (R)DEPEND. Take 200 on about 6500
packages we have in our repository, if I take 5 minutes each, I'd end
up to take 16 hours. To build my previous list, I took about 30
minutes, it's not that big, but even that small.
So, what I just wanted to try to build up is a fast lane.
I'm sure there's something we could do to better Gentoo.
When I say "I don't have time", it means that I can't waste my time
fighting with some of you just because you have the knife in your hand
and like to make fun of me. I really admire the commitment of some of
you and it's the only thing that led me coming here to talk.

BTW, It's funny to see the difference of attitudes from here and IRC,
let me underline that :) So this is a neutral ground.

in a community environment.  It is not all about you, and there are
people that have much more in depth knowledge about the packages they
maintain than you could.  You want to compare knowledge of GCC with
myself or vapier?  I can tell you right now if you touch glibc or gcc,
we would file a devrel bug immediately.

^^ This is a really stupid sentence. It seems some of you don't even
realize how many users we brought to Gentoo, and this is really sad.


For those of you playing along at home, the conversation went something like 
this:

 hey there, i found a whole bunch of broken stuff in your tree
 cool, can you file some reports in bugzilla so we can fix it?
 no, i'm too busy and you guys are slow.  give me cvs access.
 uh  no?
 you're stupid.
