> Just as soon as Michael Hoek responds to just ONE of the emails One reason Michael *HARO* has be quiet is due to my advice. He is a quiet person and a newer committer that usually works on Ports. It was obvious after the first comments that some people may want to make this into a huge deal. > I might consider letting it die. But has anyone noticed he seems > to be silient on this list.

I need to take my shoes off to count the number of times -CURRENT has been broken this month. AND it was for much less than 24hrs. See the commit logs. > I have no problem with the -v to cp, good technical arguments where > made for it, _and_ it makes us compatible to fileutils 4.0. Similar > reasoning applies to rm, but not mkdir. mkdir,rmdir was added to the "-v" list for orthogonality. Maybe that makes sense, maybe it doesn't. Had the original response to the commits been calm and made concessions like this, I would have said something earlier. But based on the below comments.... need I say more of the way some of the mails have been lately..... > In 12 more hours I intend to revert the code on mkdir unless he steps > forward and at least makes a comment. EXACTLY why mharo and I have been quiet. It didn't seem to take much fuel added to this fire to really blow things up. > If he does not make a comment I have to assume he is not reading > commit mail and intend to ask that his commit access be suspended, > as that has never been allowed. (Is this in the rules yet??) Must... hold.... back....., must.... hold.... tightly..... GrrrrRRRRRR. I'll let others comment on these last two proposals. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
