Gitbrew will no longer work on the PS3

[dlevere]

Gitbrew will no longer work on PS3, due to the recent drama.

This is a pastie provided today by eussNL.

<snowy> um.
<snowy> Due to circumstances that have happened
<snowy> circumstances*
<snowy> we're no longer helping the ps3 scene.
<snowy> Durandal is currently in route to the VA
<snowy> aka veterans hospital
<snowy> he's pissing thick blood and in immense pain that even pain killers won't stop
<snowy> he's driving 45 minutes to get there :/
<snowy> he told me to say this "FUCK the ps3 scene, we're not longer going to help them due to the bullshit drama that should not have even happened"
<snowy> also "If i die i'm going to haunt every last one of you in the creepiest way possible"
<snowy> that was what durandal said
<H0lyPuma> oh i thought yo were joking
<snowy> nope

[...]

<snowy> welp
<snowy> talked to durandal
<snowy> he's okay, shit hurts 10x worse
<snowy> they gave him stronger meds
<snowy> and because of what happened between us and ps3 scene devs
<snowy> we're technically stepping away from the ps3 entirely
<snowy> i will work on my last 2 projects until they're completed
<snowy> everyone else can work on their projects as well
<snowy> but we won't help anymore development regarding the ps3 past that.
<snowy> euss|busy: we'll help document stuff on the wiki for ya though
<snowy> back to the good ole days at least
<nevik> good to hear he is okay!
<euss|busy> and perhaps a clarification for other people, who do you mean in the ¨we¨ form? you and durandal?
<snowy> me and durandal yes, any developers that are working for gitbrew / or you know what i mean
<snowy> whoever gitbrew is helping and vice versa
<snowy> can work on any of their projects still
<snowy> just not include our names on it
<snowy> so glevand and anyone else who wants to develop still can still do it
<snowy> and we'll still house it as just an irc channel
<snowy> but other then that we're keeping the drama entirely away
<snowy> and distancing ourself from the scene
<snowy> Because at this point, there is no point to be connected to that scene specifically
<snowy> gitbrew was made for multiple places and scenes to develop and the ps3 scene kinda took over

No real surprise here. People always get pissed off in homebrew scenes. Can't be avoided, especially when there's a huge number of mere users that tend to be total dicks to the few people who are doing anything. Then of course the nearly certain huge conflicts between the people who are active. Look at what's happened with pretty much any console and the same general situation comes up. Especially the more recent systems.

Gitbrew Announcement - Work suspended till further notice.

Announcement #1 09/01/11

One of the main goals of the Gitbrew project was to bring back what Sony has disrespectfully removed from the majority of PlayStation 3 owners, OtherOS. We have successfully completed that goal with the release of OtherOS++ and since that time we have carried out a great deal of research resulting in progress unheard of in the "PS3 Scene" since Sony's lawsuits against Graf and Geobot.

OtherOS++ Project is the culmination of work done by Glevand and Gitbrew, building on top of open source work released by Graf.

Linux/BSD has extensive capabilities in the field of research and development making it a powerful tool to peruse and employ the console to its full use.

Without Graf, we never would have completed this project. Here is to Graf, thank you for your courage in the fight for Linux.

Gitbrew will suspend work for PS3 related projects until further notice. Individual developers working under Gitbrew will continue work as usual for whatever projects that may be in progress.

Gitbrew will continue to host our collection of mirrors, past and current projects as well as individual developer software. IRC server will stay active for otheros discussion and help (#otheros).

This does not mean all development has come to a halt; we have more releases planned for the future on other devices. We will also host an active community for homebrew developers of all systems.

Thanks to everyone in the scene that has contributed to our cause and special thanks to those who realize the information is out there waiting to be found. Our intention has been fulfilled.

Our content is open source and free, do what thou wilt with it.

For further questions, join our IRC.
