5/12 So, do people think the motd is better without locking and some
few over writes or the way it is now where motdedit totally fucks
up the merge and munges a lot of posts?
\_ The MOTD is better when people don't change it out from under
someone who has a lock.
\_ I think motdedit is an abomination.
\_ I think people who stomp over other's posts are an abomination.
\- i am outraged over the outrage.
\_ That was very confusing until I realized you were talking about
a program, and not yourself.
\_ What is the problem with asking people try not to force write?
\_ it doesn't work
\_ the solution to this problem is simple. CVS. CVS does a better
job at ci/co, and we'll keep a revision. I'd say it's a brilliant
yet simple idea.
\_ telling people to use certain programs to edit motd is like putting
up a sign on the freeway that says "be nice to other drivers and
say no to road rage!" It just doesn't work.
\_ proposal, use CVS to handle merging which we know works way
better than achoi's merge. The other advantage is knowing who
edit/censors/alters the content and having an archived log.
Vote:
aye: ..
nay:
\_ why not try to improve the merge program?
\_ I think the mis-merging is usually pretty funny. It's also
easier to fix that having someone else accidently overwrite my
post, now it still exists, just in the wrong place. |
