General suggestion ciaran, calm the hell down and just wait for the council. Not helping your case for why you think I shouldn't see the stupid thing at all with rants like this (not saying I want you to succeed in blocking me from the doc mind you).

This is getting retarded also. ;) Upshot, he's now generating the ToC for me.

Bit of BS. will admit I think y'all are running it like it's a secret club (complete with deciding who is 'leet' enough, taunting those who aren't), but derailing it? I want the thing finished, and I want it accurate. No amount of accusations will change that. Further, the sooner it's finished, the sooner I can go back to *not* interacting with y'all, which frankly is high on the priority list :) Tend to think you're letting bad blood over a suspension blind you here also. > You have absolutely nothing to contribute, Friendly reminder; 'twas one of the portage monkeys for several years, specifically maintaining ebuild env. Beyond that, laid the ground work for the env work you're just now starting to get into (glep33 already has the bits)- trees fairly clean due to the fact EBD (3+ years prior to your own investigation of env issues) already forced cleanup of most of the tree (this is what pauldv was talking about in the past thread also). Will admit my portage UI knowledge is getting rusty, but still have to match the portage internals, and still track the changes they (and paludis) make. Done a fair bit more, including sound wench^developer (thanks a lot for that crap job seemant), but public ml isn't really the place for doing wang measurements. > as evidenced by > every previous time you've gotten involved with anything I've done, and > given how badly you tried to screw up GLEP 42 and how much of my time > you wasted doing so, I really don't want to deal with your noise ever > again. Save the adhominem kindly; may not like the fact that at the time you had to put forth proposals I had a say on it, but thats the way it was. Further, the glep42 changes *were* intended to make it saner for portage to support, not just your manager. > You also have a lot to gain by wrecking the process, I gain zero by wrecking the process. Time for another history lesson... Friendly reminder, the only reason EAPI=0 is even being possible is because *I* added EAPI, against a fair bit of arguing at the time also. Intention was for the format to evolve (add in bits stated in the other email that couldn't be done without breaking things). None of the real features folks have asked for can be added without EAPI=0 defined, thus *I* have an interest in it getting finished. Yes, you may dislike the form EAPI took. Point is, kindly don't claim I have anything to gain by blocking the process *I* started. Prior to me pushing that through, folks were willy nilly making changes (look at the .5x history if in doubt). I *do* want the damn thing finished- would be nice to actually get out the mythical EAPI=1 sometime before I turn 30. Really is that simple, long standing stuff I've worked on can't progress without EAPI=N being possible. > and your > past behaviour has shown that you'll stoop to any kind of dirty > trickery and abuse of the system that you think you can get away with > rather than having a proper technical discussion. spare the ad hominem. As I said in the parent post, I may not like you, but I'll work with you (usually from afar via proxies if given the choice). If in doubt, take a look at the misc portage features I've added for you in the past (glep31, repoman metadata.xml caching off the top of the head). Additionally, spent a good chunk of time answering your questions prior to your suspension about portage behaviour. Don't like your behaviour, and can get pissed off, but that doesn't justify the attack. Besides, public ml is the wrong place for it. > Frame it any way you want, but so far as I'm concerned there is nothing > of value you can possibly provide that would make up for the headache > of having to handle your own unique form of input. Woot. I'm special. :) > But hey, it's up to spb, not me. Try emailing him if you want access. I > couldn't give you svn access even if I wanted to. Well, as you said, spb's decision, ultimately the councils decision if it supports the project. Either way, the little tirade here wasn't needed (and doesn't help your arguement much). If you would like to continue discussing the particulars of why and how you think I suck, private email is the route to go. ~harring
