Re: *UNAPPROVED* dpkg nmu
Scott, thanks for your timely, well-done, well-thought-out, and appropriate
NMU. You are a credit to Debian. :-)
I can't help but point out that Adam's behavior here exemplifies, perhaps more
than anyone else's ever has, exactly the sort of thing I've been complaining
about over and over again -- someone who isn't doing "their" work but doesn't
want to let anyone else do it either. :-P
This is the primary problem with Debian at the moment! It is why xemacs21
still has a trivial-to-fix unsolved RC bug, to pick another random example
which came up recently.
(To fend off the non-sequiter responses I expect to hear, I reiterate that I
have absolutely no problem with people not doing work as long as they allow
others to do it. And my kudos go out to everyone who's orphaned their
packages recently, encouraged NMUs, etc., as well as to the people who did
the NMUs and QA uploads -- you know who you are.)
