learn to use replace, in your editor
by pierced freak - Aug 4th 2005 08:29:53
Since you are not going to give credit where it is due, why not learn to
use an editor properly, and learn the replace string/command?
:%s/[Tt]orsmo/conky/g for vi, and its clones for example.
Below is the authors rc file for example.
# set to yes if you want tormo to be forked in the background
background no
cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 2

dates/comments in the Changelog are the same, same with a few other
files.

Uhm, it states right in the description that Conky is a fork of torsmo.
Torsmo has been dead for a while. Get over it. Also, try doing a diff
between Conky and torsmo, you'll notice a pretty significant difference.

i didnt relise 2+ months between release made a project "dead" if you are
refering to the torsmo cvs, then you are still wrong, because the dates on
the files there didnt change when 0.18 was released. Maybe the author isnt
using the CVS as much as he should. BTW the only place you give torsmo
credit is on the sourceforge page, for 1 little line. Yet you use/d all the
docs, and stuff for torsmo, even thier Changelog. it looks like you just
added a few lines here and there to all there code, dont you think the
authors of torsmo deserve alittle more credit? i mean without them you
wouldnt have conky.

I consider torsmo dead since the start when I first found it.
I still haven't gotten a reply for my feature request I send.
And as long as credit is given where credit is due I see
nothing wrong.

If they do then it's not your place to claim that.
If you belive they are being inappropriately credited
then inform them of this project and let them get in touch
with the author(yes author even if it is a rip off as you claim)
of conky. The only person in error here is you. You are attacking
a person for using GPL code whic is still released under GPL
about a rip off. So please stop throwing your dead weight around.
I do not defen the the author of conky but I do know you are wrong
in thinking that you know if it's a rip off or not. The only people
that
can make such a claim are the Torsmo developers so contact them
and ask if they belive this is a rip off. Let them examine the source
and if it goes against the GPL or what they belive is enough credit.
And don't waste more time by trolling about such things.
BTW I use neither Torsmo nor Conky. I prefer gkrellm until I find a good
samurize clone for linux.
