That's a great idea - just replying publicly to those private emails. > >> I hate having to behave like an adult, rather than a petulant, >> jealous >> 9 year old. :) > > Don't we all ?

I have the same confusion, but the initial publication of Chef was made with many claims that it was just easier for them to start again than to try to understand Puppet's code base or to try to participate as developers. Of course, this is a development truism: It's *always* easier to start from scratch, it's just not not always better. -- It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others. --John Andrew Holmes --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
