The problem here is that *you* 're deciding own your own what is important to 
discuss & what is not...

Maybe you can check how others librairies in others packages are named before 
saying that i decided on my own to use  underscore...

So could you explain now why you still continue in this way by changing things 
without asking...
But i guess it's not only for kde because i noticed you suddenly start 
obsoleting kernel-firmware-extra without even asking to tmb if it was a good 
solution...
From your point of view again it was good enough so you did not take your time 
to discuss with someone else at least with the kernel maintainer for this kind 
of stuff
This *the* problem with you, you simply refuse to talk about your commits 
because you are too confident with your changes...

What should i think then if you keep doing things when i'm not agree with ?

I'm quite sorry but the majority of my changes were discussed with others (aka 
ahmad,ennael,coling & dmorgan) & some of them where also rejected by ennael 
for example...
I also ask for specific help regarding packaging to dmorgan (since he's the rpm 
maintainer)  but sometimes also ask help to my old mentor neoclust in mandriva 
so no i did do changes for  my own satisfaction ....

Maybe you did not read me...
I strictly did not write or say that thoses changes were wrong, but that it 
was not discussed at all *even* if they are correct because from what i just 
read you did not submit the patch upstream...
Again it's because you think it's the right thing to do you're doing it 
without even discussing it with me at least...

because you're not always around in #mageia-kde or #mageia-dev...
I did asked you to join first this channel if you want to join/help on #mageia-
kde, didn't i ?
I'm exchanging mails with luc & dmorgan...
When i did somes changes in mageia-theme package, there was first a bug report 
for having mageia theme available in KDE even if i was able to simply commit 
in svn i first report the patch for the spec in the bugzilla, and i asked 
ennael's opinion about this when it was just a *minor* stuff affecting only 
*kde* where i'm the maintainer... That's how i work in a team & this only what 
i need you to do and asked you already to do but you're still refusing it 
arguing that « only » important changes should be done when you're the only 
one to decide what is important & what is not... That's the problem & only one 
problem i've got with you but you still do not understand i guess & refuse to 
comply to my suggestions...

Anyway it seems we won't be able to resolve this either in private or in 
public and i *really* doubt i will be able to work with you since we're not 
agree at all about commit's stuff..
There's also the fact that others peoples on the mailing list should not be 
affected by thoses dicusssions so it ends here for me.
I'll wait for the discussion with you and ennael to put a definitive end on 
this.

Regards,


P.S: sorry again for this last mail.
