Every one, from your first post to the latest. I understand them, too.

And it makes no difference to the point. In effect the users become 
package maintainers, and they are still acting opposite to the *request* 
made by the developer.

To me, the issue is one of civility. It's not like Paul's thoughts on 
the matter are unclear. At any time the script writer(s) could have 
directly asked Paul whether he could be supportive of the script. 
Perhaps then they could have worked out an acceptable scheme to preclude 
this kind of thread. Perhaps they would have been dissatisified with his 
response and proceeded to do as they did anyway, but at least there 
would have been some dialog. As it is, he finds out about this stuff by 
surprise, and then we have this thread.

I build A3 daily from SVN sources. If I have a question or lament about 
it I go to IRC, not here and not on the Ardour forums. That is what the 
developer has asked testers to do and I feel I should honor his request. 
Yes, I'm certainly free to do otherwise, but I understand why Paul makes 
the request and I respect it.

Best,
