MODs are made as enhancement to the +</I>>><i> standard software. The easiest MOD is like Michael wrote: "a module +</I>>><i> with files to deploy in a well known directory". But in most cases +</I>>><i> they consist of files to copy into various directories of the program +</I>>><i> tree and changes to existing files of the software. There are other +</I>>><i> MODs which can be implemented automatically - which is far worse IMHO. +</I>>><i> This is where a modded phpBB3 could turn into a nightmare to maintain +</I>>><i> - believe me, I've been there :( +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> Of course no developper of a MOD could know what somebody has already +</I>>><i> done to the standard files, so it's not possible do use only patches. +</I>>><i> And it could be (and that happens quite often) that a MOD is not +</I>>><i> compatible to your already "modificated" forum software (destroys +</I>>><i> other modifications or whatever). +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> IMHO the best way in this case here would be a mod written for our +</I>>><i> setup, all changes well defined to make it maintainable in a proper +</I>>><i> way. Saying this I beg to think again whether the issue  justifies all +</I>>><i> the time and work. +</I>>><i> +</I>><i> It would make me very, very happy, does that count a little? If I were sure +</I>><i> that I'd be able to learn how to do it, I would now consider to halve the +</I>><i> time I use for the Bug Squad and Doc Team and start learning. +</I> +Why? IMHO this complete issue is going out of proportions. Let's +remember why we *seem to need* this MOD in the first place. And what +will we find? The time-to-edit discussion, again. In the council +meeting where it was decided to have this mod It looked as the best +way to please a disturbing minority request, the more as that same +minority gave the impression that such a MOD could be implemented +within a reasonable time span. As we see now after 8 months, this was +never the case. + +Adding the fact that a test period of several months with a much +looser time-to-edit setting in the German Mageia forum showed not one +single case of misuse brings me to the conviction that we should +rather rethink the time-to-edit limitation itself than to waste +manpower on this issue. Manpower which is needed at more important +tasks, if I may say. + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="011223.html">[Mageia-dev] PHP + phpBB mod capabilities needed to fix bug 1956 - please help +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="011227.html">[Mageia-dev] PHP + phpBB mod capabilities needed to fix bug 1956 - please help +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#11226">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#11226">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#11226">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#11226">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
