[Debconf-discuss] Are you happy with pentabarf?



... because i am not.

Please, pretty please, let's stop using pentabarf for next debconf.
The system is aimed to control so many stuff that does not do anything right.

- Some people register believing they set some options and it says others. It
  is not their browsers problems, it is penta interface.
- Code stuff can only be changed for a few people, and they are not always
  available.
- Send patches is not easy, you have to put all the RoR stuff, then the needed
  modules, then install penta. It is a pain.
- Using the administrative interface it is frustrating. I have lost so far more
  time dealing with penta and its problems to add the schedule than creating the
  schedule.

I prefer to deal with 2-3 simle CRUD system to different data even if data are 
not shared between them, but dealing with the data correctly. Penta is supposed 
to shared the data and tell you about conflicts, etc, but it is not do it in a
intuitive and clear way, so in the end you do not get data shared and the system 
create you news problems.

This is so crappy as the renfe website, with the difference we deal with the
system problems.
