Meme transcription: 4 panels of Vince McMahon reacting increasingly ecstaticly to:
- Your software isn’t working. Vince McMahon looks curious.
- The bug is in a library. McMahon smiles.
- There already is an issue on Github. McMahon makes an orgiastic face.
- They published a fix last week. [I don’t know how to describe the face McMahon is making.]
Sometimes the issue is marked as fixed but a new version won't be coming out for months and you're simply told to compile it yourself only to find it has literally hundreds of carefully tuned compilation dependencies and environment specific settings that aren't documented.
Opensource is the best!! 😅
Open source has no tangible effect on release schedules?
If the software in question was proprietary you wouldn't even have that option. Distro packages could backport that fix too.
