>From the last things you with dmorgan said and did this was also to
see to what point you would go.

The changes i made in kdelibs, that binaries in kde are only for
development so i moved them to devel package and were reverted.
Like dmorgan said all coomits i do even if were good commits would be
reverted if not reviewed by you, that was some he just invented and
that i never agreed.
And as we agreed, only important changes should be discussed like it
happened with the improvemenet i was planing to do to Qt.

Thats not quite true, since for example i suggested that the lib
packages could start being named only with a underscore instead
dashes, and you acted like that was already decided, seams you were
the only one who decided.

This i have commented in the begining of this message.

I never acted like kde was mine, there were some commits i made in the
begining but i remember we did had a conversation and i start
discussing things, and as we agreeed discussing important things, as
for the rest i think is preferable to just not comment...

And now you say, as we discussed, so we did in fact discussed things
and i didnt do any implementation without theres a consense.
And as i already repleyed in other threads (but again you take things,
you keep repeating yourself.), at that time i was too much busy with
my son probems and didnt had time to do nothing, but i remember i did
told you that.

And again seams your putting words in my mouth, like i liked you to leave...

Yes, i tend to agree that at that time you didnt had others
contributing or that could have a more active role and that always
never disagree of your ideas, and all was like you wanted, wrongly or
not. As i remember for example fixing severall things wrong in qt
spec, many existing requires(pre) when there wasnt any %pre section.

Yes, thats the correct way to build kdeutils without printer_applet,
not just removing files, but i think that patch will be submited
upstream.

That was already done after you started with that behaviour, but i
also never see you discussing any change you made.
Thats true, you never discuss any change, at least i never saw it.

If theres a kde team, you and all kde members should discuss things,
and maybe reach some agreement about whats really important to
discuss, if dicuss all or just discuss more important changes, since
discussing all can also delays development.

I think this doesnt deserve a real comment.
