A lot of words...

What's your point? I explained why I haven't submitted these extensions and when I will. What part of "I'm holding back on these until I see what Robert is doing with tiny core" do you fail to grasp?

Hi!

My point is just that since the tiny core probably will have a long alfa, beta and RC cycle some might want those security updates for the 4.x.x series. I'm not concerned about my setup in this case but if you wait for the tiny core release (a functional one) who knows how long time will pass. Although naturally it's up to you if you want to help out those concerned with this security updates in the community now or if you want to wait for an unspecified date in the future.

Have fun with DSL all you concerned about the whole community,
meo

EDIT: I didn't fail to grasp anything (I seldom do) but you started this thread a month ago and there has been "just words". Why start a thread if you aren't going to do anything constructive until some unspecified time in the future?

They can find and compile them from source themselves if they're in such a hurry.

Good, that makes two of us.

Exactly! Which is why I'm curious why you choose to whine about any of this.

Yes, I do want to wait for an unspecified date in the future.

You obviously did.

Look who's talking. How many threads have you started and how many submissions and/or contributions have you made?

Between my own work, family, vacation, and the pending release of core, etc., I don't feel obligated to do things according to your schedule. If you're not satisfied with how I do things, the criteria I set for when I submit extensions, etc., please feel free to do it yourself.

I wondered last week if I should bother participating in any community between being called names, being told I should go start my own distro, that I should leave my comments to my blog, etc. Thanks for helping me re-evaluate this question again. I really don't know why I bother suffering fools. Especially impatient, judgmental ones.

Uh.. Sorry to interrupt you guys with a theoretical question, but wouldn't this break every single extension that uses openssl? Some are very picky of it..

Hi again!

I'm not "whining" about anything. I just don't understand why someone brings up a topic about an extension and then just pospones it to an undefined future but naturally that's up to you. Maybe I got the whole thing wrong when I thought that you almost were done making this extension. I didn't try to impose a schedule upon you because naturally the whole thing is up to you if you want to submit this security update or not and when you wish to do so. When it comes to threads I've started I don't know how many they are since I have been active in this forum almost from the start. But just according to the hits in the remastering thread I started more than 4 years ago my hope is that I have helped at least several hundreds just by this thread and at least bcrypt (that I compiled into my remasters up to DSL 3.3) is now a permanent part of DSL. That is just what I hope I have done for those interested in DSL in a single thread. To help others is the main reason for why i post anything in this forum or maybe asking those who have the skills to make an extension that will be of benefit not just for me but to the whole community and everyone else interested in DSL.

Have fun all you who like this uncomparable distro,
meo
