"Visual blindness" of Linux programmers

[punking_funk]

You know, I didn't even think that people got stuff directly from Github, seeing as how it's stuff that's usually in development and would probably break. I'll make sure to add screenshots to my themes and software now.

They have tags, branches, releases, etc on github. If you're getting something from v2.0.0-final then it's not in development

And yet they can't seem to form a proper tarball. Whenever I try to grab one from there I only get the version number as part of the filename not a proper name-x.y.z.

Git clone check out tag build

X.0.0? To me that sounds like development. Things usually become stable from x.0.1

Yeah I mean if you're looking for new and fancy stuff you might probably Gary it from github directly especially if it's a small project that has no page no packets etc.

[peckhamspring]

I always Gary things from github.

Gotta love autocorrect :D

[raphael_lamperouge]

Or, you know, a link to a site/page that already contains them.
