Hi everyone, In light of the second time of gstreamer being bumped to the unstable series and breaking webkit and possibly other ports and that I used to maintain gstreamer and gst-plugins-base. I would like to apply for opt access and take back control of these two ports. and possibly pick up some opt orphaned ports wine and related ones specifically might be a few others there too. I am a long time contrib member and been around quite some time. Thank you for your consideration. Regards, Danny Rawlins <Romster>

that's not a compelling reason to become a opt-maintainer for me, such simple problems can be easily solved by speaking with each other. Besides the two commits in question are already reverted by the maintainer. Anyway, thanks for your application. TBH, it's not easy for me to vote in your case. That's not a matter of technical objections, but affected by your rude personal attacks against others in the past, because your ideas how to improve CRUX got not implemented. But that was the past and we have to look at the present and even more into the future. Currently there's nothing I have to complain about and for sure we need more help to keep CRUX alive. With all that in mind and in the hope for a friendly and good cooperation I second your application hereby with a 0/+1. best regards Juergen

Yes I'm sorry for my rudeness in the past, and that CRUX needs a friendly atmosphere, and that all the work on CRUX is voluntary, for which I am grateful. I'm happy for sepen to continue maintaining gstreamer and gst-plugins-base, I just got a frustrated that this happened a second time. My attitude is partly personal reasons that I should keep out CRUX, frustrations with dealing with customers that can't even tell me what a web browser is among many other basic things. My life is stressful and I bring some of it here, sorry for that. Progress doesn't come from rash decisions, but well thought out plans, I have in the past been too quick to try new ideas without seeing the other side effects. I see it's not much point in me forking my work off CRUX as it just gives me less time for myself, and I do one hell of a workload here and elsewhere. I will still do my ideas on my system and if anything turns out really well, I'll just leave it on my site for others to try out and not try to push it at CRUX. I mean good intentions I just come across the wrong way. I'm also sorry at going off at prologic the other day too, that was uncalled for. My past should be buried and this is now and the future. Tilman does a great job on xorg, I notice Jue does most of the core port updates, Jaeger does great cd images, I'm sure the rest of the dev team do a wonderful job too. In all I am very happy with CRUX, but some things need improving and if i spot some port out of version or some other issue I will report it to the maintainer in a friendly manner. Any bug reports or IRC messages I receive I'll do my best to fix it ASAP as well. I know you all have real life to contend with, I try to put in some time on the weekends and possibly during the week. I just would like to see the high quality of CRUX remain that. I'm still interested in maintaining wine and friends. Over time I'll deconstruct my crazy personal repo and clean it up so I have mostly what I use than dead ports that are sitting around, I'll keep those still in a attic directory, for future reference should something be needed later on. I think I've said enough without going too off topic. P.S. I'll try to keep any new dev threads in the devel ML in future. Regards, Danny Rawlins

Hi Danny, Sorry for not writing until now, have not found the time to write a complete answer. +1 generally, I think we will be good to have your help in opt, but there are a few things I'd like to suggest. First, these kind of emails, conversations, etc. must take place (as has been so far) in our devel list and the irc devel channel, which are where we should maintain internal discussions that affect only the CRUX development and not its users. In the same way, since we are a team you should respect for the work of others. If there is a problem with a crux's stuff or developer then you should first talk to him instead of making some noise in the (general) irc channel. The people who devote their time freely to CRUX does not have to feel pressured in this way. Note that there are some times when you can make a mistake, or have no time (for whatever reason), because we are not machines but humans. Otherwise, I know from experience that your work is (and it should remains) good, but understand that we all have different opinions to the same problem and all should be respected. With respect to gstreamer and the rest, I'm the current maintainer. We'll talk bb! :D Best regards, -- Jose V Beneyto | http://sepen.mine.nu/

Okay. I've just set you up for opt access. Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Thank you, I git cloned a clean opt.git tree switched to branch 2.7 and then did some commits, but when I goto git push the remote end hung up on me. was there some configuration I need to do to make this work? Regards, Danny
