After continually getting multimedia packages that I was working on in home:plater, messed up by other submissions I had the bright idea to make the package the devel project of the multimedia:libs package. Unfortunately I can't delete or "undevel" the package and with my current situation I'm not on line enough to manage this either.
The problem I attempted to address is a real problem though, there should be a way for a maintainer to lock the package that he's working on, especially before release when there's a lot of activity.
The key here is communication and not ignorance, which you showed here:
where you simply chopped a previous submission (by yours truly):
The key concept here would have been called 'merging' and isn't really specific to OBS. But lets go on a bit, after 'working' on that package, you reopened a request to Factory (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/106980) that was reasonably declined (see our packaging policies). It's rather funny that I wanted to do you a favor with just the above submission and fix your issues ;-)
Long story short, I would really appreciate if you could stop pretending to be the one true source of wisdom This comment really baffles me. and try to collaborate with others (like me).
And don't try to make your home project the devel project for any other project (please revert if you already did), otherwise I'll make mine a devel project of yours! I find your language offensive, especially after having a forced absence and still managing to work on bugs using a mobile phone during the period. As I politely pointed out that I was unfamiliar with the new reopen feature and the supersedeing. The correct response would be to enlighten me, I still don't understand what the reopen button is, I have been unable to read any list emails apart from bugzilla and the messages I received from users concerning rosegarden, blender and lilypond.
Ok, I'll try to respond correctly then, "Reopen" is for re-setting a request to state 'new' or 'review' when it was 'declined' before. This usually happens when someone makes a mistake and the decline reason was invalid. However, in your case, the decline reason given by darix was perfectly valid and you simply reopened the request without given any comment on why you did. So I accused you of being ignorant, and I admit I could have done this in a more diplomatic way. But to me it seems like being blunt didn't help either, or how do you explain your resubmission of libconfig (sr 108385)? Neither did you include darix' recommendations for improving the package nor did you fix your last commit to the package (where you erased my previous commit that fixed SLPP). So what do you expect this time? Here's what you should do: * Revert the package to revision 2 (the submission that was accepted by cartman) * Rebase your changes (from rev3) and commit them again * Read darix' decline message from sr#106980 * Read darix' decline message from sr#106980 again * Actually do what he recommended ;-) * Feel free to resubmit the package to Factory Until then, 'libconfig' won't enter Factory
I realise there are differences in communication between english and germans, I have worked with Germans and I have both German and Austrian friends, I try very hard to prevent misunderstanding but in this case I think I failed.
I'm still under very difficult circumstances, please understand that my time spent replying to this email is precious but I'm not sure if you could understand poverty and hardship like I do. My reply was not about your personal situation but about your general behavior in the OBS, please let's keep this stuff out of the discussion. -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke
