[csw-maintainers] An end to IRC back-biting ?

[Philip Brown]

So I happened to be in opencsw irc today, and noticed a board member
stirring up bad feeling about me on it.
And this griping was done, after the irc bot had already announced I
had addressed the issue Maciej had found, in svn, almost as soon as he
let me know about it.


<automaciej> Dagobert, bonivart_mac: Reviewed phil's package, found a surplus
  dep.
<bonivart_mac> :)
<automaciej> self_publishing--
<bonivart_mac> it's funny that his own packages gets released immedlately, no
  independent testing there
<bonivart_mac> double standard
<automaciej> yes, no testing and no review

As I pointed out in the channel afterwards:

 if someone actually VOLUNTEERED to always test my packages, in the same
  timeframe that I usually test others, I would LOVE to have someone else look
  at my packages

There was absolutely no positive effect to be gained from sniping
about me on the public channel, or even mentioning the issue on irc in
the first place, particularly as I'd already addressed the issue.

How about we have an end to negatively talking behind peoples' backs,
on the supposedly
" 'friendly' solaris channel"?
