The problem is there is also plenty of data, like for example the recent #539950 (on a package never uploaded to Debian) which is looking a _lot_ like LP#408901. In this bug, the Ubuntu developer is (IMHO) trying to make the Debian one find, fix and patch the bug for him. The problem is (as a DD) that I would expect Ubuntu to collaborate the most on the harder core packages, meaning the toolchain, the kernel, X... Alas, it happens more coincidentally than on a regular basis, and that saddens me. I'm not saying there aren't any working cases of cooperation, and I welcome them. But there are way too many example of bad (or rather inexistant) cooperation, or even dirty tricks like #539950, which undermines the former tries a lot. -- Intersec <http://www.intersec.com> Pierre Habouzit <pierre.habouzit@intersec.com> Tél : +33 (0)1 5570 3346 Mob : +33 (0)6 1636 8131 Fax : +33 (0)1 5570 3332 37 Rue Pierre Lhomme 92400 Courbevoie
