Because it's to difficult to ask before doing changes ?

Because thoses changes/proposal where *already* decided *before* you even
come to KDE, i simply wrote them down.
Of course that does not mean that we won't change the goal after, it is not like
it was written in the stone... it's a *wiki*...

I don't care at all about animosity between you and dmorgan, stricly no...

You should double check how you're talking on irc before saying that.

Ok so maybe you can stop a little bit your paranoïa...
I asked dmorgan to reverse your previous commit because you did not ask
anything neither show us a commit when you were supposed to do as i told
you before but i guess you forgot this one (i did not do it personally because
i'm was quite buzy but i guess i should have done it...)
Here with your previous change i take the time to comment & ask for explanation
because you again did not ask & decided what was better from *your*
point of view.

I'm sorry but my behaviour did not change at all... It's just because
i had enough with
your style aka « i'm going to propose something and if you're not
agree i'll apply it anyway
because i'm the older packager, i know how to do things etc etc ...»
or « i'm going to commit
some changes which is not important from my point of view so it's not
for other » or « i'm going
to commit something and *ask* after about this »

You probably think that i was agree with you simply because i was
agree with *some* of
your suggestions that's all...

I really don't remember also how we act as a team since you did not
take your part of the job:
i asked you to do a simple thing on the wiki ( add the members of the
kde team on a specific
 wiki page)  & suddendly you start changing without asking the
kde_policy_packaging wiki page

I'm still waiting for your commit in soft regarding iaora_kde since June 12th...
You're not doing correctly your job & then you complain that we're not
acting as a team ?
Also maybe you can start helping on bug fixing on mageia like for
example Luc is doing ?

I asked you to work on digikam2 initially but we spent too much time
talking about libs package because
you suddendly wanted to obsolete some kde libs because they were part
of digikam SC and i was forced to
ask neoclust & Gilles about this since you were not agree with me
about the lib packaging because you had
a better idea... and when we finally reached an agreement and you were
supposed to provide a spec quite soon
nothing happens..

What with discussion if you're simply does not care about my opinion ?
In fact you simply want to have a « leader » hat status ?

I would better say that it would be better *without* you until you're
okay to discuss your changes
before commiting them or *even* better as i said in a previous private
email *TEST THEM* locally
by building them in a iurt chroot (& yes i already sent you the
documentation i used to create my
iurt repository locally) instead of commiting & fixing build errors by
submitting it in the BS.
So in summary please don't target anyone else when you're the culprit
with your attitude.
Again that does not mean that all your commits are wrong but sometimes
you changed the behavior
simply because you think it's better, for example recently you add a
patch on kdeutils (
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/kdeutils4/current/SPECS/kdeutils4.spec?r1=128724&r2=134478
) to remove  a simple rm -rf in a spec.
Is it wise to patch (& maintain a patch because i'm not sure you
submitted it upstream) when we can simply remove thoses files in the
spec ?
Did we dicuss about this ? no because you probably think it's a better
solution & it's a minor thing..

I'm really doubt about that point since from what i see so far because
you're not
following your own words..

Well on that point i'm quite agree with dmorgan.
Maybe you should really learn to work/integrate with the way we work...
Maybe you should act more like luc who he's sending a review of his changes
before commiting anything & waiting for an answer even if he's more than a good
packager (& also a programmer by the way) but i guess he's probably biased since
he used to work with kde reviewboard...
