We've all heard more than enough from you on this topic.
I am now moderating your posts to this mailing list.
You've earned it.

Hi :)
That is exactly why Evolution is a shrinking community and unable to attract
new devs in.
One of the main points of a users support list is to benefit the organisation.
Not the other way around. It is this sort of discussion that might lead one or
a few users to realise that they do

Hi :)
Ahah, i was wondering if that was right. I've noticed a few times that distros
change pathnames in order to be more consistent with each other and wondered
how much that mattered.
The User Profiles for many of the links i gave used to be,
/home//
but most seem to have moved to
/home/
Alright,
it seems that arguments have been brought up (and some are repeating).
Recent debates have been mostly meta-level and off-topic (Linux and
distribution ecosystems).
Kindly asking you to take further discussion off-list when it is not
specifically related to Evolution to avoid noise and
I'm not convinced that a mailing list for helping users with Evolution
is really the place to be teaching someone about packaging software ...
But nevertheless...

Hi :)
I think devs are a subset of users. Most devs use the tool they are writing
(hopefully) so they are users too. Some users do have skills but seldom use
them so although they can't really be counted as devs most of us think of them
as devs.
Most of us users are completely useless at an

Hi :)
I thought that was one of the myths about Gnu&Linux.
Several times i have seen people saying that packages in Gnu&Linux need a
separate new compile for each individual distro. However all the links i gave
to other projects show only 2-3 downloads and that seems to be enough to cover

Is less than ideal, it means a lot of trouble for application
developers:
a) If you write an app, you have to either learn how to package your app
for every distro or convince them to package and maintain the package
for you. In practice it means months before your app can hit the users.

That actually _is_ the ideal way.
Someone writes a nice programme. Someone else packages it for their
distribution A and again somebody else for distrib
