Sorry, a wee bit formal maybe. Maybe it should have been a :
"hey, why are your package not in svn like the rest of them ?"
Please don't take it badly, it was not meant so.

No, just your approval. And get your feeling about it.

Well, that a package is in the subversion repo doesn'y mean that it is working
