lmao @ManjaroLinux really can't help themselves but ship unmerged patches, this time they broke Chatty again by including 3 merge requests in Chatty on their STABLE branch! One of which is actually closed...

@calebccff Firstly: Manjaro's absolutely in the wrong here.
With that said, it is reasonable IMO for distros to patch software. That's one of their main purposes. Doing so *blindly* is not, and that's Manjaro's specialty.
There's a difference between a package maintainer patching an issue that, say, upstream refuses to fix (because they don't care about non-Ubuntu distros, as a real-world example), after taking the time to understand the issue, and just *gestures at Manjaro*.
@pixelherodev yep, and neither myself nor any other signers of the letter disagree with you, I don't think it could possibly be more clear tbh. it seems incredibly obvious to me that distros can (and often do) have very valid reasons for patching software
I'm confused as to why even https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/merge_requests/1035
is included. Unless you run in debug mode, it doesn't do anything useful, which is why it hasn't been merged yet.
Maybe anything I make as an MR is just slapped on?
And yeah....I am 99% sure the MR I closed caused the issue. I tried to rebase it....and bad things happened.
"Maybe anything I make as an MR is just slapped on?"
So you need a new avatar with sunglasses to disguise your identity when making an MR.
@kop316 @calebccff wowzers. great work @ManjaroARM ! lol...
@calebccff btw I think @ManjaroARM is offical.
@jason123santa @danctnix I'd rather stick with something like @postmarketOS where the bus factor is countable :p
@jason123santa @danctnix @calebccff You're saying that to a #postmarketOS developer and core team member lol
Here's the commit that removes them: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/community/phosh/chatty/-/commit/16954cf39bd105bbb618775ad9702e0b72958497
