Sorry, I've promised not to react anymore to this subject, but I felt myself obliged after the manifest and explicit violation, on my sense, of the DSC by some people claiming that they contribute to Debian only for their own sake and do not care about users frustration caused by their poor SW quality.

Instead of a gift, I see it more like a fruit that you take from a tree. Can you please explain to me how do you understand the following statements in the DSC?
When I decided to join Debian I did accept those statement, did you and the others. For me these are the most valuable rules in this project, but unfortunately I see that more and more new contributers ignore them. I don't say most of contributers but probably the most noisy one that react systematically on any thread but instead of trying to solve the technical problem, they bring an ethical one and try to enforce their point of view on the subject. I feel that this d-d list becomes more political than technical and this is something making me more and more sad. I did love this project and gave it my time, but feel more and more frustrated each time I read this list. I don't want to blame anyone, but just kindly ask to keep discussions in line with Debian social contract and constitution. That is in my understanding committing to help Debian, users in order to make it the best operating system. That was true few years ago (at least it was the most stable one). It becomes less and less true. -- Cheers, About Al Montacir, |
