No, it's not. I am just pushing systemd through right now, and did other
stuff.
Also, check upstream git to figure out whether a project is dead. The
last commit there is from 2 weeks ago. Git can tell you something about
whether development happens. Bugzilla just tells you whether I have
devoted my life to processing bug reports. And well, I haven't done
that. Sorry that I don't exclsuively spend my time on making my stats on
bugzilla look pretty. If I did, then I would not get any real work done
anymore.
Most of the abrt stuff can probably be merged as duplicates. I'd welcome
if somebody wants to go through this and do this.
Hello Lennart,
first let me thank you for everything you do for the FOSS community.
Sadly i have to point the other side out. You might don't like that,
but this page
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds
is the #1 page needed on our IRC support channel #fedora (I need to
check if it's the all-time-high). I'm sure you don't like to read
that, but PA isn't that perfect yet, from a supporters POV (even PA
works very well out of the box here for a long time).
We're a bit afraid you leave us with a systemd like PA if you find
something else that enjoys you more.
You're a very good coder and as well very good in pushing trough.
Maybe you need (to learn?) to share the work that comes with all that
a bit better. Or start to educate some people to be able to help you.
And maybe listen a little bit to the people trying to help others in
the front line. Thank you.
