2.9.6.1 no longer has apps_hexchat_url_handler.schemas? #954

The mimetypes are registered in the hexchat.desktop file, gconf is old and should not be used by anything any more. Is there something that is not working that used to with gconf? As for bountysource thats automatic and can't be undone afaik. It just mirrors the posts here. |

I was only asking about the gconf /paths since I didn't see this is in the latest version is all, but I don't pay any attention to what happens really in the Gnome world, so I wasn't aware of the present situation of gconf... Not under this username, but I've been around GitHub since it started and I've made a lot of reports and asked a lot of questions over the years on all sorts of various projects and this is the first time I've ever seen this Bounty stuff. So this Bounty was not your doing, but something GitHub did? I personally don't get how I could be on this site for all these years and yours is the only one I get this on, I'd assume I'd therefore see it on all the other projects out there, unless this is some new type of thing still being implemented... Either way I'm not happy about... Thanks for your time and keep up the great work on Hexchat... Cheers :) |

Hi TingPing can you please answer the question so I know what's going on here? From some reading I've been doing online this looks like something you enabled as a feature that GitHub has for their members; http://blog.bountysource.com/post/48954271533/improved-github-integration-automatically-update I'm not saying this is a bad idea for now but I know nothing about it, and like many Geeks we don't like surprises that pop out behind our backs like this did. It's always been the Geek way you let people know, I'm not saying you, but I mean GitHub should of gone about this maybe in a different sort of way is all I'm saying, letting us know what's going on here... Also on such a small project like this, I'm not even sure why you'd need funds contributed for development either... Thank you... |

Bountysource is enabled by me for the repo, but what it does from there is automatic. |

Hi TingPing, Yes as I mentioned above I see it's a feature you can enable if you choose. But why do you need to have Bounties on a project like this if you don't mind me asking? |
|
Why not? It's an interesting way to donate or motivate a bug being fixed. |

In a general roundabout way, if you get that expression, making improvements are great! But do you we all like the same things? No... Do we all have the same ideas about Linux and the distros we like? No Point I'm trying to make is we have our likes and dislikes, just because Bounty is great to you doesn't mean it is for other people, and also since most of us here are Open Source Geeks, we really have our own ideas and principles. For another example do you believe everything the Freedom Software Foundation and Richard Stallman stands for is good? Do you believe in everything Canocial stands for? See my point now? Now you has the developer have a choice to choose Bounty or not, but what about the end-user, when they file reports, to let them decide if they want to partiicipate in it too when they make bug reports and have the things they say and do be involved with other people and companies? Part of the real bitching here is the way in which GitHub went about this and those on the outside like me turn around and SURPRISE, oh where did that come from? Do I have an option as an end-user in my User Control panel that allows me to Opt out? NO So you see for this so called Open Source situation, where is the Freedom for me the end-user to have a choice in the matter? Oh so now GitHub is going to start to be the type of place if you don't like it you have a choice to not use GitHub is that how it's going to be? Well I hope you get a little of this better. I'm all for improvements but in the Open Source most people and companies give the end-user a choice and here I see none... Again I'm all for you using this to help you, but if others want to opt out then all Bounty should see if a bug report with information and a bug report number, also member names and personal identification is removed so it can't be traced back to anyone, allowing end-user privacy.... Hey PLEASE don't take any of this the wrong way, this is not about you, this is about GitHub! CHEERS :) |
Hi,
I just compiled 2.9.4 and noticed it gives this /path for the schemas;
/etc/gconf/schemas/apps_hexchat_url_handler.schemas
But when I compiled 2.9.6.1 I did not get this schemas, so I wanted to know if this has been discontinued in 2.9.6.1?
By the way this is the /paths for 2.9.6.1 when I compiled it, does this look ok?
thank you...
P.S. Something about Bounty appeared in my post and if this is releated to this project, great, anything to help you is GREAT, but please respect being also an Open Source project, meaning we don't do things behind others back without asking, or allowing us a chance to decide if this is something we want to participate in.
I mean no disrespect to you, I am very grateful for hexchat, but please respect me too as a Linux geek and end-user, and please don't place this stuff in my posts and have my GIT Hub posting appear other places, I don't like it. What I post on GIT Hub I want staying on GIT Hub and I hope you will please respect that,last time I checke that seemed to be the way things worked around GIT.
And I'd greatly appreciate you or someone going over there and removing that Bounty posting it made...
