MythTV 0.27.3 ???

[Kelsie Flynn]

Regardless of the measure you compare me to Richard, yes I failed your
expectations of communication with you.
  I tried very hard even though it's probably hard for you to tell.

If you would like to talk privately let's do and work towards a common
goal. I will give you the up most respect and try to explain anything I've
said if you wish.
 By phone preferred, with direct email or chat there is a very high
probability of failure.... because of my limitations, not yours.  Email
tone and effectiveness is a failure of mine that I openly admit in certain
circumstances such as this.

I'll email your private email with my cell phone number and hope for the
best.
 I don't want this to go on for days and days and possibly have you get
more bitter at me.... because of my Cowboy/JohnWayne nature.

I know I'm no Saint or Wordsmith.
 Please give me the chance again directly and then ...perhaps I can appeal
to your intellect. I'm frustrated by problems as most problem solvers are
and I am seeking out other capable people to work with on common projects.
 From what I read, you were the person I needed to contact at RPMf, not J
or C.

I'm frustrated by it a bit as well, bug I only maintain the package at RPM
Fusion. I have no leadership position there whatsoever.

choice, and I don't see RPM Fusion shipping packages that install into /opt
anytime soon.

*>>Is it ongoing? The result may be unfortunate but I think it's pretty well
settled. Personally, I have learned some of the history but I was not a
packager (for Fedora or RPM Fusion) at the time it happened.

Ok, snipping the rest of the message as it's not technically relevant to
this thread. If you want to have a philosophical discussion about the
history of ATrpms and RPM Fusion and your problems with RPM Fusions
policies, feel free to do so, but please don't hijack this thread to do it.

Thanks,
Richard
