Re: Where is kdenetwork, where is Chris?
Hi Scott,
you still don't get it. So let's go through it step by step:

Never have I asked *when*, the question was *why* kdenetwork isn't in Sid yet.
Thus, I'm still not convinced you had read my original message. Have you by
now?

No, no, no! Chris knows the current situation very well. He just did not tell
the list what was going on. Now he has and I'm pretty fine. The current
status of kdenetwork has not been clarified on this list until Chris' answer
in this thread. And again, no "when" in my question.

Well, my system *is* working perfectly. I *am* using Chris' kdenetwork
packages and have no complain about the packages. But I would like a
consistent Sid, i.e. as much packages as possible from official sources.
Currently kde (read: kdenetwork) in Sid is broken. Last comment on the list
was the packages were held up by the ftp-masters. I wanted to know why, and
if this still was the case! Nothing more, nothing less.

At least, it was *you* who told me Sid wasn't made for *me*!
Since I can't find anything like that in the policies it must have been you
making that rule!
(What does "ub3r-l33t" mean, seriously?)

Yes, it was. Here, for your convenience, again, copied from my original mail:
"Hi,
once again the question: Why has kdenetwork still not made it into Sid?"
Don't confuse the subject with the question. The subject "Where is kdenetwork,
where is Chris?" was chosen in order to reflect its relation to the thread
"Where is kdenetwork?", the very thread you assumed I had not read.

Assuming you have known *why* kdenetwork still isn't in Sid, why have you not
chosen to tell me and the list? I think it's more an Douglas Adams like
situation: You might have known an answer but not the question...

Got it now?
Probably not, but who cares?
Nevertheless,
Kind regards,
