Conduct unbecoming from a member of the LINBIT organization

tux2bsd commented 11 months ago

I provided a bug fix to a small bug. A bug nonetheless.

That bugfix was closed by LINBIT's member way of winning an exchange. Had he been polite from the outset there would have been no exchange.

The member promised to uplift the provided bugfix and implement it at a later date as his own, speaking volumes about his character (it does not matter if the license permits it). Linbit's member said "will apply my proposed patch". About my code, which I provided to fix the bug.

That all occurred here: https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd-utils/pull/36

In spite of his conduct I have persisted and pushed another tidier single commit bug fix: https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd-utils/pull/38

A historical report of the bug affecting other people: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030118

What did I think would happen? Something more normal, with a civil interaction resulting in a fixed bug.

I think there is a misunderstanding:

I did not look at the squashed version in #36, and thought it does more "shuffling around" than it actually does
as this is trivial, I wrote a version I thought might be a good fix
now, looking at the squashed version turns out these two are almost identical

Taking your fix and "selling" it as mine was never intended. I'd like to change a minor thing in #38, but we can take that

Progress is now being made which is good to see.

This simple bug fix for a simple bug has had the proper outcome https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd-utils/pull/38.
