This is something that we don't talk about much actually. My personal thanks to all packagers as well. It can be a thankless task and one of those jobs that makes a huge difference to lives of developers and general users alike with often little or no kudos. |

I try to make a point of plugging in on some level to the communities connected with the distros I run. Maybe only to post, "I'm running this and thank you for making it available", but sometimes I can toss off "I had this problem, this is how I fixed it" posts in the forums or send minor bug reports to the maintainers. Sometimes open source is like sending CQ: you never know if it was just code practice until somebody replies. |

indeed, i used to enjoy packaging: http://wiki.foresightlinux.org/wiki/display/DEV/WARNING
but despite how easy conary makes it, it still isn't as exciting as writing code for me. all the more reason to thank others for doing the work. greetings, eMBee. |
