It's shit like this why the open source world, Linux in particular, can't have nice things. Politics, FUD (both ways), egos and petty squabbles making every step painful and slow.
To everyone involved, fucking grow up.
- general_failure 13y agoYup. First they say opensource is awesome because you get freedom and you can fork it to will. They say you can put your ideas to code and do whatever you want. Then the minute you actually exercise freedom, everyone will say 'why did you fork it?', 'why not use what's already there'. At the end of the day, opensource has as much politics and bullshit as commercial ware. People just don't want to admit it.
- chris_wot 13y agoIf you fork something, don't expect the original team to accept patches for increasingly divergent codebases. There's forking, and then there's unnecessary fragmentation.
