* teward throws Eickmeyer under the bus in -release | 14:06 | |
Eickmeyer | teward: I saw that! Dang, man! I mentioned it once and that's a "nag"? | 14:45 |
---|---|---|
* teward is just trying to make it more important for AAs to look at :P | 14:45 | |
Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/pull/1406 | 15:06 |
Eickmeyer | Could use a +1 at the least. | 15:07 |
OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: I suspect it may get forked at some point with the original becoming less relevant | 16:20 |
OvenWerks | I get the sense this dev is not someone to listen to other devs for whatever reason | 16:24 |
OvenWerks | Getting messages frompackagers who wish to add his application as a package to their distro is not the same as a "customer" who says: "having to download every time there is an update and reinstall is a pain in the neck, how come you don't suppy debian (put distro name here) packages?" | 16:27 |
OvenWerks | Or "how come I can't get this on my distro SW installer?" | 16:30 |
Eickmeyer | Yeah, a little tragic, really. If that's the case, then I'll just have to explain to people that want this in Ubuntu that the developer is uncooperative. | 16:31 |
OvenWerks | Actually, give them a line to add to his as an issue | 16:32 |
OvenWerks | Like get them to say: "I like this software, but it is a pain to install, can you make a ubuntu package?" | 16:33 |
OvenWerks | When he says "I don't package" or something like that, then it is time to say: " the distro devs say you won't take PRs to make it packagable." | 16:35 |
OvenWerks | Then: "never mind, there is a fork that does it right..." | 16:37 |
Eickmeyer | Well, they don't have to package. They just need to create a viable source tarball, which is all that PR does. Seems as if they have NBH syndrome. | 16:37 |
OvenWerks | Very much so | 16:38 |
