What's "interesting for Sven" isn't really a consideration, what's reasonable and efficient is. Once this has been tried for some time, I'll be happy to reconsider whether it's effective; if it's going to be dismissed out of hand, though, that indicates a lack of good faith. > He should wait until Frans or someone else to see his work in the svn > and with his knowledge about powerpc, I think lots of time will be lost > and the work will be delay. There is no delay -- we distribute software to users via packages and images produced from those packages, not svn repositories; and Sven was explicitly requested to upload packages directly and immediately, with the given provisos to ensure he doesn't block other people's ongoing work. > > I expect we'll shortly need to look seriously into getting a few more > > people actively working on maintaining the powerpc port as well; at the > > moment we seem to be relying on Sven to do everything, and that's not > > really ideal. > Sure but looking after such of person is not easy and this person should > have lots of exeperience with powerpc, d-i and debian. No, there should not be a "this person" in that role -- maintaining an architecture is a job for multiple people working together. Expecting one person to do all of that is not reasonable, whether it's Sven or anyone else. > We have Sven, why not trying to do forget what append before and try to > work together and not pointing on people everytimes. Forgetting what happened is a good way to ensure it happens again, just to remind you. Cheers, aj
