    Probably an unpopular opinion, but:

    If users experiencing issues with the ambee library in this package, they will knock on my door. And I’m not willing to support that or accept that burden. Especially as I don’t see a good repacking reason in this case.

    As a developer, this seems like a reasonable argument to me.

    Also, I see from a comment you made recently that you seem to be involved with NixOS:

    There’s always Nix but the dev behind HA has a personal vendetta against Nix people building his software (for some ridiculously stupid reason…he doesn’t understand the tech!). We packaged home assistant in nixpkgs anyway because we don’t negotiate with terrorists.

    Calling him a terrorist is rather melodramatic. And I think further enforces his point, that your actions are creating unnecessary problems for others, and you simply don’t care.

    Edit:

    Did Frenck come off as a bit of an asshole? Yes. But in my opinion, so did all of the NixOS people. Kind of a bad situation all around.



  • Everyone who is so inclined to back this project, please do so.

    However, I’d highly encourage you to do your due diligence first if you’ve never backed a crowd funded project before, and especially so if you’ve never backed a video game crowd funded project. Even more especially if you’d only back a project due to extra platforms “unlocked” through stretch goals.

    There’s a lot that can go wrong in these kinds of endeavors (even when they’re started with the best of intentions), and it’s easy to end up feeling cheated by how it plays out (even in cases where something is delivered in the end).
