<BR><BR>> To: hobbit@hswn.dk<BR>> From: henrik@hswn.dk<BR>> Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 21:56:21 +0000<BR>> CC: tj_yang@hotmail.com<BR>> Subject: [hobbit] Vigilante releases (was: RRDs created, never updated)<BR>> <BR>> OK, I'm not the type who gets offended easily, but this did make my <BR>> blood pressure go up a bit:<BR>> <BR>> In <BAY138-DS1620B45379321618FC0139F1F0@phx.gbl> "T.J.

But I'm really <BR>> offended that You did it without at least telling me about it first. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
My intention was to provide a solution to silence the complain.<BR>
Stand corrected. I didn't ask for your blessing/permisson first. <BR>
<BR>> My personal e-mail address is well known, and dropping me a mail <BR>> first would have been the polite thing to do. If You'd done that,<BR>> such a release could have been done quickly with my "official"<BR>> blessing.<BR><BR>
Again my apology.<BR>
<BR>> Instead, You've made me angry and created a mess - there's now one<BR>> more place where some random version of Hobbit can be found. And on<BR>> top of it all You've given it the look of an official patch by <BR>> putting a "4.2.1" label on it.<BR><BR>
Sorry that I make you feel angry.<BR>> <BR>> All I'm asking for is that all of you *think* about what you do.<BR>> If you're frustrated about the next release not arriving, do<BR>> something to move it forward - i.e. grab the current source-trunk<BR>> from the Subversion archive, use it and send bug reports. Or<BR>> patches. Or write docs.<BR><BR>
I am not frustrated of "next realease not coming". I was hoping<BR>
to answer the question of why not putting all-in-one patche into a source tree<BR>
to relieve the patching headaches.<BR>
<BR>
again My apology to create this tension due to my bad judgement.<BR>
<BR>
effort should really spend on docs,patche and bug reports.<BR>
