i know the basis of tt, and agree it's not that hard. however, i'm not
interested in this topic. but i'm not against using it - i just won't
spend my time on working on tt-related code. so if you guys want to base
the efforts on tt, i don't mind. but do'nt count on me to a) make it
happen or b) fix things in it afterwards.

once again, if people want to work on cpanplus::dist::rpm and integrate
fedora, mandriva, centos, rhes, and what else, i'm all for it. remember:
i only created it in the first time because there was nothing else.

and if the effort leads to some code / distribution which is better than
cpanplus::dist::mdv [0], then i'm more than willing to transfer
ownership. but currently, i'm not seeing a lot of work beside taking my
module and changing the template to adapt it for fedora... oh, and some
Capitalization Done Right (supposedly).


[0] maybe the proper name would be cpanplus::dist::mandriva, and ::mdv
should be left to bitrot.

no. i'm providing proper capitalization where it is important: in the
pod and what the user will see (readme, etc.) but in my comments, in my
code, i'm free to do whatever i want. and i don't want to capitalize,
because i don't like it. if you send me some patches to fix
capitalization, i will apply them - but don't count on me to write with
upper case.

i don't even understand why it bothers you that much... does it make
your eyes hurt when you read a sentence without capitalization?  :-)

do you also realize that time spent ranting on this aspect of my code
would be better spent actually writing code?
