</p><dd>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.</dd>

|
|
</p><dd>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.

<p>
|
|
</p><dd>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.

|
|
<p>
|
|
</p><dd>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.</dd>
