It's not a bug. It's how pkg resolve a file conflict.
Because it's spreading like wildfire.
It's not the cause of the problem though, it's a symptom. The cause of the problem is self-inflicted. Don't blame the package tool for trying to fix a bad situation. You can have the most perfect tool to do the job but if you shove garbage in, you'll get garbage out.
Healthcare in general. You can treat the symptoms (pain relief medication for example) but if you don't take away the cause of the pain (big sharp object poking through a limb for example) you will need to continuously deal with the symptoms.
Did you submit that PR? You obviously didn't clean up that mess from months ago. So, no, I'm not contradicting here.
Ehm, no. It's very clear when and where those *.pkgsave files come from. You obviously haven't resolved the cause because they keep reappearing.
If you need to use those scripts you must be doing something very wrong to begin with. The "problem" isn't pkg(8) creating *.pkgsave files, the cause of the problem can be found when questioning why they keep appearing.
Yes, and since you seem to be the one that's constantly battling with those files you need to ask that question to yourself. You appear to be doing something that causes pkg(8) to create those files.
That's mostly due to a lack of knowledge and probably a lack of methodology. You just do things without thinking, everything is done haphazardly. Troubleshooting means you take small, incremental steps and assess each step methodically and logically. How did I get here, what did I do. And often just as important, in what order. Computers are stupid machines, they'll do exactly what you tell them to do. Which is often not what you meant.
Ehm. I have AD/HD. If there's anyone on the board with a severe lack of attention it's me. I've met plenty of other people in the IT business that are "on the spectrum" as they say.
So? You think a hobbyist can't learn anything? Or improve their skills?
I've been lucky. I've been able to turn a hobby into a well paying job. The 'job' isn't a requirement, it's just a means to an end. It pays for the rather expensive hobby, I get to buy cool new stuff to play with.
Of course you are. Everyone is. It just takes more time. Don't try to run before you're able to walk.
Who said anything about having to go to college or a university? Back in my early days of computing I went to a library. Picked up a bunch of books and started reading them. And the next week I would take out some other books. Most of them didn't even make sense to me at the time. Still learned from them, just by reading it. The puzzle pieces started falling into place much, much later.
Honestly, that sucks. Hallucinations rock. Granted, my only experiences with hallucinations have been drug induced, so there's some bias. On a more serious note, are you seeing a doctor? Take medications? There's a lot that can be done to keep things manageable nowadays.
I'm fairly sure this can be brought back. The pleasure from programming when you were a kid I mean. Somewhere along the line it got associated with the abuse and now you're stuck with that negative association. Good therapy could do wonders. But a severe lack of motivation is probably keeping you from getting any.
Probably a wrong translation here but I think I understand what you meant. I assume you mean that you've been deemed incapacitated and receive an unemployment benefit. Which probably isn't much. It's not much in the Netherlands, it's barely enough to pay for rent and some food.
One thing led to another, mostly in a downward spiral. It's a vicious circle. Breaking out of a vicious circle is hard. Please tell me you're seeing a doctor/therapist.
That's not what I'm seeing. You ARE self-taught. You get a few hints here and there on the forums and you manage to put the puzzle together. On your own.
Everybody needs help and support with complicated projects. Nobody does everything on their own. We've all had help and guidance to get where we are now.
