Is there any need for up-to-date software for AOS 3.x?

[ami_stuff]

This pool have only one answer, because I just want to check how many people feel the need for up-to-date software for AmigaOS 3.x, ported from Linux.

http://aminet.net/search?readme=ami_stuff

Is there any need to port more or update already ported software to the latest versions? How many people here would like to use it under AOS 3.x (m68k/WinUAE/Amithlon)?

Thanks for reading.

I voted no.

Simple reason - we need LOTS OF apps for AmigaOS4, even MOS.

3.1 is discontinued.  Neither above is.

I'm not sure which system you use, but for example some MorphOS's sites are linking to my ports (and I have no problem with that), so as I understand, at least some of my ports must work there correctly (?).

Please someone close this "pool".

My intention was to get an input from Classic users. This "pool" was the easiest way to get it, because not everyone likes to add replies to the topic.

It seems that some of the people just don't like to see any progress under m68k platform and that's the reasone of all kind strange attacks.

I wonder why you need to be "publicly rewarded", really isn't enough with the downloads count !?

Of course not. It's the same like when you store your ported software on your own HDD.

No feedback, bugs reports, anything = no fun.

at ami_stuff: i too think you shouldnt overreact.there is nothing wrong about this thread/people voicing personal opinions. is it?

Yes, but when someone don't want to use the software, why he have a need to "express himself" in a negative way?

[ami_stuff]

indeed, if you are with lacks of ego

...and for what is that button on the right side? Isn't download counter enough? :lol:

"Help us help you!" :lol: :lol: :lol:

You're confusing things, my friend. i see no relation at all between what we was discussing, and what you are saying now.

As I understand you want to tell me that I should be happy because I see a increasing download counter and I shouldn't ask users if they would like to see more software like I already ported (this is some kind of reward when they answer yes), but at the same time you ask users INDIRECTLY for reward by placing PayPal button on your web page (Help us help you!). This is a bit stange. Why is there a PayPal button when you don't feel any need for reward? Download counter should be enough and you should be happy because of incrasing download counter, isn't it? There is no need for ANY other reward, right?

Well, unless you're indirectly requesting money to continue updating your ports.

Not at all.

this is a little confusing now... but as far as i see its a paypal button for supporting amiga.sf not ami_stuff. please correct me if im wrong but as far as i see this is not a personal site of any private person but just a site where open source software for amiga is being published. thus i dont take it as if any request for financial support was made.

No, donations are for Diego.

You may not take it as a request, but for sure when someone donate, it is a reward for Diego.

When Diego can ask for rewards by money, I can ask in any other way I like.

That's all what I want to write about this subject.

@ami_stuff
You're requesting people to vote in a "Yes" or "Yes" poll to know if you should update your ports. Something which obviously you already know because ppl is already downloading your ports and therefore there is interest.

No I don't know that, because people may only download the software for test and delete it after that. Download counter tells nothing.
EOT?

What really is rewarding to me is the fact you take me as example on how to do things...directly or indirectly

Note thats just a button on a private website, and that button isn't seen on the main page. isn't like if i place the button altogether with release news. i never asked users on a public forum what i should do, i always did what i did because i enjoy doing it, if later ppl show me its support fine (additional motivation), else no problem because  it's just a hobby i enjoy doing.

That's really cool and nothing bad about that, but you have a hope that someone will donate, so this way you will get an additional reward, otherwise you would not place PayPal button on your page, this is also asking publicly in some way (every user see PayPal button). Different people needs different rewards. You can't criticise me that I ask for any reward when you do the same, but in the other way. Maybe this "pool" was not the best idea...

.. and now peace, love etc.
