I'm happy to see we came into the same conclusions: There's no rush to patching the code when there might be better alternatives; and there's nothing wrong with GPL and donation windows, GPL is about freedom not about money. And finally, there's no need to dis-service the users or the team, as Onkar pointed.
So I've spent the afternoon having a nice talk with Nolar and The_8472, which came to good results -from their side, at the moment. First, they eventually will provide the means for the user to disable this notification window, so users that - as in your case-, are annoyed by it's presence have the option to get rid of that. The UI interface will provide then the functionality for those who change their minds later. Secondly, which was my strong point, they'll extend the timing among the window is shown, so there will be more extensive time, so users won't even remember the last time it appeared, in Nolar words. So, for a workaround (bencode was another topic too) you could always open the ~/.azureus/azureus.config file and search for the line: > :donations.donatedi0e and replace that by: > :donations.donatedi1e This should have the same effect that the patch that I posted before, without messing with the code - there's no need to, now that upstream is aware. So my position here is to drop both patches and favor the workaround until a fix is released, I hope you agree. If there are any other questions, I'd be willing to answer. -- Best regards, Adrian Perez <[email protected]> -- vuze just asked me for money https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434979 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
