It's already been translated into several languages - you just click the drop-down. All the Asturians out there can finally be appeased.
We're talking about the *new* text string, Einstein. You know, after "File Request" is changed to something better? That's not how AURweb development works, and TUs don't have anything to
do with that.
In cases like this, I believe it should be. This change is a no-brainer and it'd only take the right person a few minutes. If a TU isn't high-ranking enough, so be it. I am pretty sure you don't actually want the fix, or you would have
submitted a fix yourself. A four-line fix of a couple text strings...
I wanted to leave it to someone higher up, so that I wouldn't have to go looking through the codebase. I didn't see the point in reinventing the wheel at my end. Instead you started a flame war on the mailing lists. Are you telling me
you genuinely thought that was the best way to get results?
My intention was to post the first message and leave it at that. Since then, I've had a constant stream of belligerent buffoons finding every possible reason to block this change. I can hardly be blamed for not wanting to let such imbeciles win out over common sense. I think I was officially diagnosed with mild Asperger's...
I'm pretty sure though that I posted a patch [1] instead of arguing.
Be grateful that you're not bipolar-1. You got off lightly with mild Asperger's. Thank-you very much for submitting the patch. I'm sure it will be for the better (assuming it's accepted). Is it possible your analysis of the situation is wrong? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I wasn't suggesting that those with Asperger's aren't intelligent. As mentioned in an earlier message: "There are plenty of highly intelligent people working at NASA who have that condition." Because a bugtracker ticket is a formal request for a resolution, and
you are guaranteed to get at least enough attention to merit either an "OK" or a "NO", from someone who is actually responsible for taking care of the AUR website And because any-random-TU can't just edit the website willy-nilly, there is an actual project with a maintainer. Anyone can contribute. :)
In the beginning, I was unaware that the Bugtracker could apply to the AUR website itself. Maybe I should've done my research first, but I was in a hurry at the time. Then, after battling hard to stop a bunch of idiots ruining a good idea, I didn't want to start the whole thing over again somewhere else. Since it appears your primary goal here was to pick a fight, I'd think
you'd be thrilled at the opportunity to bicker over the dictionary, you ingrate.
Again, I see it in the reverse direction. Several people in this thread were trying desperately to find little flaws in my statements, and I felt it necessary to make them look foolish (in order to stop their nonsensical campaign to shut down a good idea). I'm not ungrateful towards people who help me out (like you). Some others, on the other hand, only wanted to shut the whole idea down and leave things as they are/were. The way I see it, I was just doing what I had to do in order to get this change pushed through in a timely manner. Anyway, thanks again for your efforts. I am grateful for the time you've spent on this. Now that this problem is solved, "respiranto" is welcome to get back to telling his elaborate jokes (if he so wishes). I won't be replying further to this thread, unless someone says something directed at me.
