Hi Xyne,
Hi Xyne, Alexander, Evangelos and the rest of the gang.
2012/10/27 Xyne <xyne@archlinux.ca>:
Of course the PKGBUILDs and everything else in the repos belong to Arch, not each individual packager. I didn't mean that it was disrespectful in the sense of encroaching on others' "property". I meant that it was disrespectful in the sense that you concluded that most of the other packagers were producing substandard packages and that you needed to help them do it right.
Let me quote the Arch Packaging Guidelines [1]: When creating a package description for a package, do not include the package name in a self-referencing way. For example, "Nedit is a text editor for X11" could be simplified to "A text editor for X11".
And the DeveloperWiki:Bash Coding Style page [2]: Use single quotes if a string does not contain parseable content.
These are not policies and guidelines that have originated from my own head, from belief in my own superiority nor out of any disrespect. If you think otherwise, you're wrong.
I wanted to implement lots of small changes, that people otherwise won't bother with, that are in compliance with the current guidelines.
I am having a hard time believing you find this to be disrespectful.
<snip> I understand the "angry" of the effect of this, but I think Alexander's mistake was not to tell us his idea and apply it by his own (as many other people said). Enough discussion about this, he do had good intentions, he do apologize with us, so let's move on. I support the idea of do a planning examining the results of Alexander's tool in order to clean a little bit some of our packages, but with planning and awareness about what will be done. Please let's advance with this. Cheers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQjqPnAAoJEEKh2xXsEzutpWQH/it6xd/9x6DIcOp402buJM6x oJY5mFSwO1GzYNRq2UoiZAMDude9KQtAcpuTq+/dvUPRbB1YI8Qet7xwHMqbzgwb RfV5AQfltvz8sidXS5Ps6RW6YZrP7XSJ7Wsm+4fV5t3xryeFUXonepobrijMpRqK idvSNDGvbPn/o0SiqZTOpz8JJTvNA6i47E88j9hxU5gIZpdCcgJVPxCUL/L9ZrMC YkhJx7Uwmdq/4VJBKV9PqImnK6pVwRulxyCemMz+fsq2lW3dN85YPh1Zt6MVZrmU TUS8ew3/o92HBWI9TJeq1l+dgOyP+MXow383aWNXJR5b5zPZbChSagJlMMwzYIk= =t3SU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
