cdrdao maintainer and status (bug 249642)
I always found it strange that cdrdao (which is required by e.g. k3b) is not
in the official AMD64 archive. Now I found this bugreport[1], already
attached is a fix, which has been tested by quite a few people. And still the
maintainer Andrew Suffield refuses to accept this patch in quite a strange
attitude.
I read a lot[2,3] of people complaining about the behaviour of asuffield, but
did neither know nor care anything about it. But now I see it myself.
Given such circumstances (these kinds of "helpful" responses), I can
understand that the AMD64 team was a bit unhappy with the non-official status
of the port before testing became etch.
But what about now, to what extent is AMD64 official enough, to change this
kind of behaviour? I guess further requests in the bug report are useless.
Thanks for your work and patience (especially Goswin),
Frank
