As seen in the other thread you opened, you seem to rush a + bit too much. Just like you took more than 800 perl packages in + Mandriva does not looks to me as a good sign. You’d better start + small, doing little, but doing it well. Now it’s been a bit more than + a year that you have had a contributor account in Mandriva. At that + time, I had only 40+ packages, some of which didn’t asked me to do a + lot to maintain them, which I was using everyday, following upstream + and so on. +- Be responsible. Having 800+ packages is a responsibility. You may have + bugs opened for them, maybe lots of bugs. As a maintainer, you are + responsible for them. The issue with xpaint in Mandriva is + unacceptable to me. You can’t just break packages, and then let people + fix them for you. +- Be collaborative. Open source is not just a question of “I can do + this, so I do it”. To me, it should rather be seen as “If I do this, + would it be helpful ?”. I tend to think some people imagine that + giving them commit rights or submission rights give them power. No, it + does give you rights, but it does also give you duties. Fulfilling the + second one is not an easy task, so, when you attempt to do something, + only do it when you are 100% sure you will be able to handle the + consequences in a reasonable amount of time. That does not mean you + are alone. When you know it will give you a hard time, announce the + change before making it. If some other people are motivated to help + you, and you are enough, you can do^Worganize that change, by + providing reports, ETAs, so that people can help you if they see it + takes more time than it should. +- Subsequently, learn to estimate how much time it would require to do + some change. Packaging some small game is not the same thing as + packaging texlive. And if you tell you will do something, do it, try + as hard as you can to do it, but don’t give up or you won’t be taken + seriously. + +Maybe there are other things I haven’t thought of. + +Good luck, +-- +Rémy CLOUARD +() ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail +/\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments +-------------- next part -------------- +A non-text attachment was scrubbed... +Name: not available +Type: application/pgp-signature +Size: 230 bytes +Desc: not available +URL: </pipermail/mageia-discuss/attachments/20110310/5fbc6827/attachment.asc> +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003957.html">[Mageia-discuss] auto-completion in kwrite does nt work any more +</A></li> + + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3959">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3959">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3959">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3959">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
