While technically true, that doesn't mean users will understand that and send their bug reports to the right place. For some historical examples of maintainer burnout and community clashes, see QuodLibet vs Gentoo in 2005/2005: https://bugs.gentoo.org/101619 https://bugs.gentoo.org/101619 / https://bugs.gentoo.org/124595 https://bugs.gentoo.org/124595
And GAIM (Pidgin) vs Gentoo in 2003 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/35890 https://bugs.gentoo.org/35890), where we can see that nothing ever really changes, RE: "You don't happen to be using an architecture other than x86, do you?"
- ziml77 6y agoWow, what a shitty exchange between Gentoo maintainers and Quod Libet's developer. They actually told the dev to do the work of fixing the distro's packages! Is the Gentoo community still that awful 15 years later?
- Lammy 6y agoNah, this was like funroll-loops-dot-info era and we all grew up. I don't know what distro Kids These Days prefer.
