Replying offlist because this topic is dead.

Asking if there it was possible to prioritize getting something done is to antagonize? Nothing in any of messages (except the well known fact that the majority of code submitted to FreeBSD maintainers is ignored) is an antagonistic statement. Absolutely everything I said is pure fact, regarding what has been said in the past and what it isn't possible to do today without some sort of core versioning. > You also left out the results of the assorted claims/promises you made: > > 1) "core" deliberately killed suggestions of improved binary update processes > You have yet to produce the e-mails demonstrating this. Yes, I'm not going to waste time doing this. Random offtopic demands for proof of well-documented and extensive threads about the core packing/versioning issues are just a way to annoy someone, and prove nothing. > 2) Your PRs get ignored. > This has been disproven by examining the status of your PRs.

Apparently many are simply deleted. And read the PRs you quoted, where I would update them periodically saying "Any action on this?" Nobody ever responded to any of my followups, so what exactly are you blaming me for? Ah, I see. It's my fault for not submitting code (which I do and was ignored) and my fault for not following up (which I do, and was ignored) and thus it's really all my fault that none of this gets fixed, right? > 3) Your promise to provide a formal requirements specification defining > exactly what you are asking for. > Again, you have yet to produce the information you promised. I can't find any reference to this in the threads. I can find someone asking for this, and me pointing out why this was ridiculous. The question at hand was not: Fix This For Me, or Fix Exactly This Problem or anything like that. If you continually change the topic, don't be surprised that I am unwilling to continue down a road I have no interest in. -- Jo Rhett senior geek SVcolo : Silicon Valley Colocation
