Hello,
Hello,
You don't understand, I think, the meaning of my email: When someone said "Ok, buy a RH license" to end a discussion and don't talk about problems is just not a good approch.
What problems? CentOS is/will be only 3-4 weeks behind Oracle Unbreakable Linux, and 0-2 weeks behind Scientific Linux, in both cases with PAID developers. So about WHAT problems are you talking about?
My mail is not (to be clear) against Centos, but against those who use the "do it yourself" just to shutdown all argument :)
We understand it EXTREMELY well. First of all, just to be clear, I have not contributed to the CentOS project in any measurable way. I did create public repo for CentOS desktop apps and I did create/recompiled 40-50 packages for CentOS in last few years, but no one ever contacted me about it, and MAYBE 2-3 developers ever browsed it.
Having that in mind, I claim that if you do not like how this (or any other open source project) is managed, it's speed of releases or any other aspect, you have 3 options: 1. Contribute your time and knowledge to that project. 2. Create a fork of the project and contribute your time and knowledge to that project. 3. After negative response to initial question(s) about things becoming better use it but do not complain any more.
You can hold someone responsible for not making your life better only in the degree of how much you (or someone else in your name) paid him. If he is not paid for it, you have NO MORAL RIGHT to complaint to him (after initial complaint).
