My attempts to "verify" that -current is buildable have led me to observe that the precise concern that I previously expressed is a reality. There are individuals who are making fundamental changes to the structure of the Makefiles which are not coompatible with the changes that I am making. I cannot possibly create a working system to hand to you if I am having to shoot at such a moving target. That is why I feel that it is NECESSARY to have some planning rather than the present anarchy. Why do you allow some individuals the right to do things which become direct roadblocks to other efforts? If we cannot create an atmosphere wherein there is coordination as to the direction of changes, I cannot contribute in this area. Frankly, it still appears to me that you have a double standard and, with respect to the FreeBSD project, intend to prevent me from accomplishing anything of significance. I cannot get you to implement suggested improvements which are completely defined and the code for them exists. Neither can I make improvements to the make system because the incremental steps are of no value to those who do not understand the bigger picture. Nor can I "demonstrate" the finished product because I have to shoot at a moving target and will never be able to catch up. HOW CAN I contribute?
