It's 7 days without maintainer response - if you're busy, as well get from time to time, it just means that you explain that in the bug report with just a single email. Let people know - we're not mind readers. RC bugs are on the radar of every DD, you may have told those you work with often that things are busy in real life, doesn't mean that someone else affected by the RC bug will know, unless you put just a brief note in the actual bug report. It's an open development model, so communicate openly - even if you're busy, sending a short reply to the bug report shouldn't be beyond what Debian can justifiably expect from any maintainer. 7 days without email is a good enough reason to assume that the maintainer isn't going to uploading a fix any time soon. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
