--- Comment #7 from YEK <kdenlive.k...@recursor.net> --- Hi Vincent, Today please post Kdenlive Version 16.04.3 back up on the Synaptic Package Manager for Xubuntu. As I indicated above, === === As I presume you are aware, the Synaptic Package Manager for Xubuntu no longer has Kdenlive Version 16.04.3. Instead it currently has Kdenlive Version 16.08.1. === === and === === I would like to reinstall Kdenlive Version 16.04.3 from the Synaptic Package Manager for Xubuntu because I have failed many times over the last few months to install a usable version of Kdenlive using the Terminal such as, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kdenlive === === In the meantime, I welcome you to re-read this entire thread and engage me in a reasonable discourse. Perhaps in the future I'll add your heartfelt plea to my anthology of lamentations entitled, "Ode to the Misunderstood FOSS Developer... who wantonly violates standard good software engineering practices, ignores or deflects reasonable requests, and then threatens to 'take his marbles and go home' if his nonsensical requests aren't met." 99% of FOSS is pathetic and barely used because self-indulgent and/or incompetent Midnight Engineers follow their own myopic version of what is "good software." I expect you realize that actual standards for good software do exist. They have not been canonized and they certainly vary, but they tend to share many tenets including allowing users to return to a previously known "working state" which, of course, subsumes concepts like allowing users to downgrade an application at their request. If you would like me to dig up some of these standards for you, I will be glad to. I am trying to ensure Kdenlive is not stuck the muck and mire of the 99% category of FOSS— mentioned in the preceding paragraph— but instead is counted among those applications in the lofty 1% category. I suggest you stop complaining and instead "step up your game" so that you can become a better developer. Thanks, Yekutiel -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
