Fwd: #winehq admin abuse

Why are you getting so worked up that he was a little rude? He is not our employee we can not reprimand him for his actions and neither can you. I think that he did try to help you given the information you provided, and maybe that is the problem with OSS, but if you don't like it go buy cedega. I am sure they have great technical support.

Maybe using Crossover as an example was unfortunate, as it was bound to provoke this response. However, it's a real example, as opposed to my more theoretical example. There are binaries that are supposed to work on multiple distributions. Autopackage is one system to create those, LSB binaries are another. In those cases, a configure option probably is a bad idea. > It's a triviality, and hardcoding various "maybe here, maybe there" paths > to look through will only prompt "hey, but it doesn't work for ME" > issues... Again, IMHO. No one will ever be happy with any given solution. Such is life.

[16T07:04:50] <Pie-rate> any admins of #winehq in here other than vitamin? i'd like to report abuse of admin privileges. here is the conversation, judge it however you like: http://pastebin.ca/659216 [16T07:09:29] <Amorphous> Pie-rate, we currently have no rules in place for channel admins or for communication in general or for policing power or it's abuse... [16T07:09:54] <Amorphous> it's something i would like to see [16T07:09:57] <Pie-rate> Amorphous: then i suggest you develop some. this is a disgrace to the OSS community. have a nice night. [16T07:10:00] <-- Pie-rate (n=jschall(a)cust-69-19-214-183.static.o1.com) has left #winehackers I had no chance anymore to respond to you there... OSS projects work because people contribute what they like to see in it. I know some people here are interested in having communication guidelines. Nobody here found the time to start work on that yet. So we need your help. I invite you to participate in our project and help/start developing communication guidelines to achieve a friendlier atmosphere. Jan

I don't know why would you call it a mess, it works pretty much fine for me... When is it less of a mess: 1. When you hardcode a bunch of "maybe" paths to look for, 2. When people who know the distro put in *the* path which is known to be correct... ? Cheers, Kuba

It's a triviality, and hardcoding various "maybe here, maybe there" paths to look through will only prompt "hey, but it doesn't work for ME" issues... Again, IMHO. Anyway, on my FC6 system the certs are in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt Cheers, Kuba

It's very much an issue if you want to build a binary that works on multiple distros (like Crossover, to take a random example). That's already hard enough to do as it is... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

This is a non-issue. Make it a configure parameter, document in the changelog/release notes, and the packagers will take care of it. Cheers, Kuba
