These developer divas egos are tiring to deal with

So the facts are that the package was changed to break if the diva's installer was not the one used. Maybe the diva did it, maybe his account got hacked.

I have my opinion on that, but let me just ask why someone would hack an account and modify it to break only if a different installer was used ? I'm guessing that if a hacker was intent on wreaking havoc, he'd want it to break whatever installer was used.

Okay, I get that you pour hours and days into something and you get attached to your project, but this kind of behavior is puerile and seriously lacks of professionalism. Either you accept to transfer ownership and then get over it, or you refuse and accept the consequences.

Accepting to relinquish control and then throwing a fit is just childish.
