No, it is never my turn to package software in factory if I don't have that skill. You can not ask me to do that. You can ask me other things.
Rhw open source spirit applied here is rather simple:
you either do the work or you find/motivate somebody the work for you
so, you either package things up yourself or you find a contributor/maintainer that is willing to do this for you.
you can ask, but you can't demand.
Of course, I agree absolutely.
But on the other hand, you can not also demand users to do the packaging themselves. It doesn't work that way, either.
I don't think anyone demanded any user to do anything, on the other hand I have helped teach a number of users to package things they are missing over the years. I myself started out as a user who got board of building enlightenment from source on 3 machines so I started helping create and maintain packages for them, with some help and a little effort it wasn't that hard to learn. Fast forward 5 years and I now work in the packaging team at SUSE. Any long time Linux user who is willing to learn can learn to package with OBS its no more complicated then anything else they do. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
