Actually if your speaking for the Red Hat desktop team I agree with
your point because its clear they have an "I'm right Jack, everything
for gnome shell attitude so screw everyone else" and it seems from my
point of view that they clearly couldn't give a stuff about anyone
else but themselves. And that attitude sucks and I'm getting sick of
going around my packages and spending a lot of time cleaning up the
mess of when one of that team comes and makes a mess all over the
place.
Is that really necessary ? Can we have at least one mailing list where
we refrain from name-calling and accusatory language, please ?
In terms of dependencies for gnome 3 you may be right but for every
other part of the distribution you are completely wrong, at least on
this space time continuum. There are quite a number of people fixing
dependency problems and its attitudes like this that really piss me
off. We got finally rid of perl in the last release which regained
quite a bit of space for just about all spins for a net win. The
Mobility SIG (mostly me but others as well), the server SIG and the
AOS/JeOS/Virt SIG have been working consistently for a long time (me
for 3 or more years) to try and fix these issues so that is why I'm
getting a little upset on the attitude.
The desktop team has not brought perl back. It is getting pulled in by
cups, indirectly. Please be at least a little more careful with your
accusations. Thanks.
