Despite feeling like this missed the point (since my email was about the Qt libs being written for and used by Ubuntu, not Kubuntu), I did so and have yet to receive a response.<br /><br />So Mark has heard and has made his position clear. Vastly disappointing to say the least, as nobody wins from this.Aaron Seigonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-87727324389291680502011-01-23T16:29:37.406+01:002011-01-23T16:29:37.406+01:00Who cares?

Canonical, for all the hype it gets, it's just another packager that distributes stuff created by third parties. And not even a very good one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-20642659052209356292011-01-22T21:39:37.238+01:002011-01-22T21:39:37.238+01:00" I don't see how Ubuntu community likes ..."

I don't see how Ubuntu community likes that.<br /><br />I personally don't use Ubuntu for that and other reasons and not here to start a flame war on that.<br />But then again I wonder what Mark and Canonical are really trying to do to Ubuntu.ComaWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116123829230104535noreply@blogger.com
