yes, of course.
This is a back-handed request, and you know it is.
if it is distro-independent then any reference to Arch in the CVS is a bug. am i right?
http://swtch.com/plan9port/ Check out the big section that says "acknowledgements". http://www.dragonflybsd.org/ See the "What is DragonFly BSD?" section.
$ cat /usr/share/doc/pacman-3.4.2/AUTHORS Judd Vinet <jvinet@zeroflux.org> Aurelien Foret <aurelien@archlinux.org> Miklós Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Christian Hamar alias krix <krics@linuxforum.hu> Josh Wheeler <deltalima@gmail.com> David Kimpe <DNAku@frugalware.org> we do mention Judd in our package. probably when pacman3 will hit your repos, you'll remove our names from the package (by makepkg) so who is who remove acknowledgements?
against giving away some recognition. It is a free commodity and the only payment those in the open source community get.
i see your point but see, removing acknowledgements is done by your makepkg in every Arch package..
Actually... I don't care anymore. Feel free to not recognize people for their effort, and their work, and their contributions.
actually we're who contribute (to pacman) and you're who fork (ie. libfetch) so we can't be the man who does not recognize other's contribution.. while really trying to be civil - if i were you i would just leave this thread as is and finally would do some real work udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
