Joerg Jaspert dixit: >not official", thats just wrong. You may not like its maintainer, you >may not want that particular software and want to get your own. Thats >all fine, but this action is not.
This becomes especially ridiculous when one considers that certain people/parties/cabals inside Debian, which some of the people involved this time may or may not belong to, deny other then-developers the ability to want a particular piece of software, instead of that one they wanted. Why is it that some people can declare other peoples’ work “not official” and thus less worth than their own, while that work is still used with official releases? Right. Debian, as a social ecosystem, isn’t a welcoming place any more. I just am surprised that not more people leave it. bye, //mirabilos -- “The final straw, to be honest, was probably my amazement at the volume of petty, peevish whingeing certain of your peers are prone to dish out on d-devel, telling each other how to talk more like a pretty princess, as though they were performing some kind of public service.” (someone to me, privately)
