Well, with my dev hat on (I did that for a living some years ago) I had to solve bugs no matter what. The client could not be left in the mud, because then he would not buy from us again.
Sorry but you can't compare the situation of volunteers in a community-based open source project, and a paid-for developer that get its work assignments by management decree. That just doesn't work. If you want that behavior "as a customer", you have to pay.
As matter of fact, I do.
Yes, so do I. I think it is perfectly reasonable to compare the two, and look at why they work in different ways despite the customer or user expectations being virtually the same.
I call it responsibility and being proud of a job well done.
That is part of it, definitely. I don't know to what extent that can be applied to a distro project, but it works quite well for smaller (relatively speaking) projects. The problem we have is that lack of attention to bug reports from one side only causes lack of attention to bug reports from the other too. I.e. when bugs aren't being looked at or fixed, they'll eventually not be reported either. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
