Here on earth, Bartłomiej (who said nothing against separate repos) and the guy who breaks every thread he replies to are just two people out of ten in this discussion. And why didn't you chime in and gave us your arguments against separate repos? How relevant is it whether you are happy or not if you said nothing of it in the discussion?!?
Because I simply agreed with points already expressed by others and I didn't think "+1s" would help the discussion. In data sabato 19 aprile 2014 11:11:18, Connor Behan ha scritto:
Hah. I would just like to add that unofficial repositories are usually a dead end.
1. Maintainer adds kernel to his own repository and tries to advertise it in the forums. 2. Only 10 people install it. 3. Maintainer decides it's not worth the work and takes down the repo.
With [community] there is a much higher probability that packages will be popular and maintained for awhile.
This is the quote I remembered agreeing with. And looking back at the discussion I have to admit that Bartłomiej didn't really argument against separate repo but expressed his desire for grsec in [community] instead.
You can pull all the excuses you want, but no consensus was reached. Pressing ahead with something so controversial while the discussion is still going on is a plain and simple lack of respect for the opinion and advice of fellow developers and TUs.
I am not saying that consensus was reached because it definetely was not, but at the same time I also don't feel like there is any need for consensus here as it seems to me that this is a package just like any other. Feedback was requested and taken into consideration, concerns were addressed and, as explained, this ended up being a self-contained package. If this results in problems that have not been considered it can be easily removed. -- Massimiliano "mtorromeo" Torromeo Arch Linux TU GPG: 0xDA2EE423
