[Pcbsd-developer] pcbsd 1.1 brings some tough questions

[Andrei K. <an...@bs...>]

Hello guys!

I am installed pcbsd 1.1 onto my laptop now and I would say I am dissapointed, 
where is updates?:

1. long list of old packages, major ones like dejavu fonts, lots of 
improvements in fonts readability is missed now.. kde packages not updated, 

dejavu-2.4.1                        <   needs updating (port has 2.6)
gstreamer-0.8.11_2                  <   needs updating (port has 0.10.6)
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.11_2          <   needs updating (port has 0.10.7)
kaffeine-0.8                        <   needs updating (port has 0.8.1)
kdemultimedia-3.5.2                 <   needs updating (port has 3.5.2_1)
kdepim-3.5.2                        <   needs updating (port has 3.5.2_1)
kdeutils-3.5.2                      <   needs updating (port has 3.5.2_1)
xorg-server-6.9.0_1                 <   needs updating (port has 6.9.0_3)

2. some 3D card support is not included in kernel
3. network manager is a joke- it can't show even nics from rc.conf
4. portsnap in system manager still can't show proper download status.
5. Installer still won't let you customize installation partitions.
6. no timezone selector within installer
7. bugzilla shows no progress in squizing bugs
8. still no plans for the future, timeline, goals
9. not enough information for community- what's going on- I see only surprise 
releases coming along...oops... test, test and test again...

This is not the way of doing business, gentlemens. To me it seems 
unprofessional here. If these areas shows no improvement in recent future 
then I start my own fork of BSD desktop. I see all pcbsd developers busy 
making money out of community efforts and even selling forums like support 
for customers. Nobody want's half assed product IMHO.
