[Fink-devel] Where do you guys find the time?

[Trevor H. <tr...@vo...>]

Hi all,

My contributions to Fink can take a significant amount of time. It's not unusual to have to spend the better part of a day trying to get some tricky package to build correctly, especially one that needs patching. Yet I see more than a few contributors here who maintain far more packages than I do and have been involved with the project for years. It's as if Fink is their full-time job. I'm curious... Where do you guys find the time to contribute? Are you simply a very dedicated bunch of volunteers, or are you funded in some way? (I've heard of companies paying people to contribute to Linux, for example, but I didn't think Fink was on the same level.)
