_hc | hi all, back from vacation | 14:04:57 |
_hc | looking at the mirror disk space issue | 14:05:01 |
_hc | In reply to @bubu:bubu1.eu The mr I made to fix that is stuck in limbo I'd say it isn't stuck, it just needs to take the approach outlined in the discussion. the code base is already so old and crufty, we can't afford to add any technical debt | 14:23:48 |
_hc | In reply to @freenode_cdesai:matrix.org wonder if it would make sense to atleast have the index code common, I can understand they may prefer to use different data structures / databases to store the repo data itself (and they do), but the index downloading code could be shared 100% yes. I totally agree, we could even make a shared library that does all that. There is the core of that idea already in the update-channels library | 14:24:44 |
_hc | I'm not particularly happy about this blog post: https://f-droid.org/2019/07/16/statement.html | 14:28:25 |
_hc | I think the core of it is OK, but with some serious issues | 14:28:45 |
_hc | F-Droid was never neutral | 14:28:50 |
_hc | it was always strongly opinionated about free software | 14:28:59 |
Mathijs | It's complicated, as far as I can tell | 14:29:58 |
_hc | for sure | 14:30:08 |
_hc | I think its ok to keep it up | 14:30:12 |
_hc | I'm just voicing my opinion | 14:30:20 |
Mathijs | from a practical perspective f-droid didn't really change anything: no apps were removed, or tagged with some anti-feature | 14:30:35 |
Mathijs | but even though nothing changed people are angry :( | 14:30:49 |
_hc | the moderation stuff is tough of course | 14:30:58 |
Mathijs | yeah, exactly | 14:31:06 |
Mathijs | I think we just mostly got caught up in a polarized debate that we'd rather not be in | 14:31:30 |
_hc | its counter-intuitive, but often times during public fights like that, the best course of action is to say as little as possible | 14:31:46 |
Mathijs | in hindgsight I think it may have been better to keep our heads down, close flame-wars on the forum and wait for it to blow over | 14:32:25 |
Mathijs | though I'm not entirely sure if that would indeed have been the correct course of action | 14:32:46 |
Mathijs | because gap does make me very uncomfortable | 14:33:03 |
