all I am after is a build tree that can be checked out, built, operated and run
as claimed... not stuck, broken, in shambles and in buildable with a gazillion
transient dependency errors and local build tree errors never mind transient
dependency errors. Otherwise shut it down or step down and let someone else run
with the ball.
Dont dare incite I am prejudice. Thats the easy way out...
manipulative...cheep... (mispslled on purpose). . though I was ousted with
prejudice by such a project operating a build tree in fear that they would be
outperformed let alone addicted to tooting their own whistles and locking down
a code base they took and ran with for almost a decade and is still a TOY.
broke and only buildable by maybe 3 or four people on the planet. Only the
privileged have the keys to building it but their foot is fairly solid and
aimed into CORPORATE AMERICA.
I think its time for a change. That open source be held to its title. OPEN and
that means not closed. But I am talking about a slippery slope. When you create
a jira (dare to after keeping your mouth shut quiet for months and
years...careful not to say anything that might piss off the committers (OR YOU
WILL GET NOTHING) or they will sowe even more bugs into the source tree to
prevent it from functioning or maybe even attempt to hack you and send you a
virus for speaking out. Thats CLOSED. And a dictatorship.
If you cant check it out and build it clean and run it clean... it should be
shutdown or the ball passed onto someone with a big HEART that cares.
But wait... this is open source... open source is a very selfish field... but
ten years of it ? Thats a decade. Ok 8.
All I am looking for is the diamond to sparkle. is that so hard to see and
understand ?
does anyone understand I got ethics, valuers, morals and standards ?
Instead we got cross dressing dictatorships.
Ok I havent tested out the soil to see where the others are at. I have kept
faithful to the same project for a vested amount of years only to see the same
thing get worse. NOTHING.
So I will repeat my assertion.
AMERICANS WRITE THE BEST SOFTWARE. AMERICANS ARE THE MOST GENEROUS SOFTWARE
WRITERS ON THE PLANET.
and if thats too much to handle... take your dictatorship and your alien craft
and your wardrobe and goto mars.
and when this industry starts gauging and rewarding the project heads
(committers) by how much of their code is running and how many users are going
commercial with it... and especially how the guy in the home office is happy
with it... then it can be called open source. Otherwise its a violation of
criteria. FRAUD with one foot in the jungle and another on a banana peel ..
Open for abuse... and is abused. Until it cleans itself up only then will I
have respectful words. I lost my respect.
There are benevolent developers in RUSSIA too that are worthy and generous and
should be operating these rogue open source projects. I bad mouthed
m2Eclipse... politely years back and in a matter of months ... well you see
where its come today.
And we got the best knocking on our doors to spit in our faces.
Until they learn the ten commandments and respect to humanity I got no respect
for them. none no matter where they went to school or how much experience they
got.
i shouldn't have to be haunting the forums for this stuff... I should be
focusing on pure business logic. instead its build tree junk and transient
dependencies and crash bugs bootstrap bugs
all by design and these folks are likely wanting to speak at DEV CON or other
open source gatherings.
I see a ton of cleaning up to be done or that javascript MVC/CRUD (which is
already looking tasty from Pacific to Atlantic) is going to outperform
serverside JAVA and render it obsolete. Soon they will be implementing ORM in
javascript by the time this build tree is mature enough to get right sparkle
like it should and stay that way. then I might not have to burn out trying to
write software on the weekends.
I'm not talking about tapestry.
