See? That's the same as me telling you that to find the code on Launchpad you just... A packager doesn't want to navigate the bizarre tree of forks and junk, they just want official releases. A programmer could care less though.
Then, because projects live under a person, if they want to transfer ownership, the whole damn project basically goes dead and you have to track it down again. Again, if I'm a sysadmin that sucks since I have to keep up on their internal politics. If I'm a programmer I go, meh, and just pull the new stuff.
- jarin 16y agoHaha, I guess I'm proving your point since I'm a programmer and I'm having a problem seeing why navigating forks is such a bad thing. Plus, I usually just let Moonshine/Puppet take care of the sysadmin part for me and trust that it will grab all of the right packages. The people who write the Puppet recipes would probably feel very differently though.
