Reason #25630 that I don't get things done faster: The MXE scripts to build .deb packages are broken and after dozens of hours trying to resolve it, I haven't been able to figure it out.

I opened a ticket about it a couple weeks ago, but no replies.

This is blocking my ability to fix the CI jobs that build the Windows releases of the Signet client, which is holding up a release.

In this case, I don't think anyone who knows about these scripts is still around.

The moral of the story here is that if you can afford to help with open source software, we could really use it!

I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about project management, learning how to reproduce issues, debug them, working towards a resolution and not just being able to do these, bit actually doing them in practice.

It takes time and effort. It means being part of a community. And the reward is that the world is a better place. It's not the riches tech bros promise.
