Anthony, when i first came to you, i asked you to help the social problem we had, and what happened that you made an unfair one-sided judgement, which has as a result to let the issue fester (err, don't know how to say this in english, but basically, it is something that you have to keep inside and which only continues to hurt you and cannot heal). > If you'd like to remove the packages you're listed as an Uploader: > for from d-i svn so that you can maintain them yourself, I'm happy to > support you in that.

I believe that the packages are better in the d-i subversion tree, and that the best way to handle this is to have direct access. If you have read the log, you will see that i am contemplating using a shell script which will do some kind of advanced : svn diff | mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then we have Christian or Holger or whoever apply them. This is what is asked of me, by you and what apparently satisfies Frans. Now, is it just me, or is this not childish and ridiculous ? What aim does it serve ? We bother others who have to checkin, and i have to make more effort to contribute, and there is no valid reason for that except so that frans can keep the control of me and have some leash to ensure my good behaviour, just because we were unable to solve this social mess without humbling me ? And on top of that, i am not allowed to make bitter and derisive jokes or comments about the ridiculness of it, sorry, but if you where able to look at this like it really is, how could you in any way not laugh at it ? > You seem to have formed the impression that people with subversion > access are better than people without, or at least are seen to be that > way. That's not the case. Well, it is clear that the current resolution is aimed at me being under the control of Frans and meak and submissive, or i will continue to be punished thus. This clearly indicate that frans, you and others believe that Frans is better than me, and that i am not to be thrusted with direct commit access. So, tell me again that all is well, and everyone was threaten equally and fairly in this ? > > 19:09 < svenl> fjp: damn, i forgot the smiley, let's try it again. > > 19:09 < svenl> fjp: would be easier if you restored svn commit. :) > > 19:09 < svenl> (was not going to discuss it, but to make a friendly joke). > > > 19:10 < svenl> fjp: i mean, i am seriously bitter about this, and previous > > incarnation of that discussions where indeed rant. > > > 19:12 * svenl is hoping to wear fjp down by pointing out the exceeding > > ridiculness of the whole issue, though, so i am no more going to rant about > > it > > :) > > > 19:13 < svenl> fjp: so, you want to put me in a bad-mood again, and that we > > restart a dispute and flamewar ? > > FWIW, "i am seriously bitter about this", "hoping to wear [you] down", > and "restart a dispute and flamewar" != "friendly joke". Why not ? The standard of debian communication is hardly of the meak and submissive kind, and from what i hear, insulting me behind my back on debian irc channels has become the sport of the month among DDs, and if you look at your own communication, you will see that you probably are not very far from having the exact same of behaviour that is reproched to me. Frans took the decision to kick me out of d-i, and continuously takes the decision to let this mess continue to be by refusing to see his own part of fault in this issue, and that by continuing in this way will only prolong the social problem undully. You cannot humiliate someone, and hope that everyone gets well again. And i do question the ability of Frans to be able to be admin of the alioth d-i project, as well as i question the way you chose to solve this social issue, to drag it forever instead of solving it quickly, like i asked you to do the first day. So, there is only two ways this can end, i leave any d-i (and maybe debian work at all) forever, and fork what i need for my professional life, or Frans comes to his sense, and forgets about his petty vengeancve against me.
