What does “paintain” mean?

Posted in Uncategorized by mairin on June 11, 2009

A couple people have asked me what paintain means.

Well, it’s a verb you can use to describe the maintenance of a package that is a pain-in-the-you-know-where to maintain. :) Hopefully Fedora Community helps take away at least some of the pain of maintaining these packages.

    Thanks for the explanation lovely Mairin,
    I was wondering myself.
    Can this be used also when referring to a human being ?

    Well lovely Mairin,

    after having paintained _that_ human being I’m (not very) happy to announce I’m being a single male again….

    Do you know of any reverse paintain verb I could use now ?
