KLPP
I've decided to kill the KLPP and my packaging of anything other than
the Debian woody version of KDE 2.0. The reason is due to 1 person. I know
you are saying..but it's just one person. Well...I volunteer my time and
one person getting stressing me out because I don't do enough to make his
life easier is one person too many. I started the KLPP to help others out.
I figured since I'm doing alot of this for my wife I'll throw it up for others
to benefit. Well, aparantly this dumbass believes that isn't what I started
the KLPP for. His belief is that I voluntered to take care of all KDE
packaging for Debian and if I can't do it myself, to find someone who can.
Well, I have to say this is the one drawback to an opensource volunteer
world. The fact that people are used to being able to expect a level of
perfection from the people producing things they use. We created a lazy world
and you can't be lazy in the opensource world. You have to be willing to take
imperfection and either live with it or take an active role to make it better.
I'm just tired of this. I have so much on my plate right now with the
packaging of KDE 2.0 for Debian woody and the other packages I maintain. And
that's just my Debian duties. And don't take this as an opportunity to say
that I'm whining or trying to put a guilt trip on anyone. Screw that. I
have taken these tasks on as my responsibility. For these tasks I will go
out of my way to make sure they are done. The KLPP I never made such
an agreement. Next to nobody has stepped forward to help...I know there are
tons of people using the resulting packages...but no one packaging anything.
For this I say goodbye on this plane. I'll leave the files up for at
least a week. And maybe once KDE 2.0 is officially released and I get the woody stuff worked
out I might build some potato packages for you all.
