Dear All, As many probably remember, when I asked to be allowed to create a network manager, I made it clear that I have NO FORMAL TRAINING IN PROGRAMMING. What I know, has been learnt by buying expensive books from specialised booksellers and studying on my own.
Now regarding the bad marks I am getting (2/10?) for writing a project that has been working since its inception.... although I have been using it for a month now without issues. Furthermore, I don't want to use shell scripts or any interpreters: those who want to use them can easily, or I dare say not so easily, as coding requires commitment, especially, if it is done for free as in my case, opt to code a network manager in THEIR TIME. Intellectual myopia or better, the urge to troll and discourage me to continue with this project, is preventing those who criticise it negatively, not to see the ultimate aim of the project, which is to avoid using ifup, ifdown and any interfaces files. However, DEVUAN was in an urgent need of a network manager, and I offered my help, and indeed, humbly presented a NOT SO PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION that works. Yes, it is not shiny, and it does not create a systray icon from where it can be invoked, but it works and it is stable. From the remarks I am getting, apart from some genuine Devuan DDs, I think, I have got a FAIL in this project, which is to be evaluated against the context of a coder who has had NO FORMAL TRAINING IN PROGRAMMING. Please, also note, being arrogant and disrespectful, does not persuade anyone to do what such an attacker wants. You have your time and a brain, use them to create your own network manager according to what you deem best. I dedicated hours upon hours of my free time, often resulting in a headache to complete the project within reasonable time. However, I go a beating and a severe bashing instead of being guided to do better the next time.
