I said I was sorry, but you cut that part out? I will point out that the Uploaders field on this package is set to a team that I am a part of, so technically its not a hijack, its just not playing well with the team, which is not something that I would retract the apology over. Regarding the several mails about this topic, you must be referring to the ones back in Feburary that were about redmine in *lenny-backpots* where rhonda asked Jan: > You are right - Jan, can you please comment wether we should remove the > package all together (because it's non-installable at all because of > current dependency information) or if you want to update it with > documentation how to work around the issue. and there was no response? There haven't been any emails about redmine on this list for the last three months since that message was sent. It has been my experience that people appreciate the help, as we are all quite busy. My upload was not meant as some kind of statement of poor maintainership on Jan's part. > Please don't hijack backports! i can say it a third time, but instead I'll just paste back in the part that you cut out: >nevertheless, I should have contacted you to say I was going to do it >if you did not have time. I'm sorry about that. if you want to remove the package because apologies are not enough, please consider that this upload fixes a security bug. micah
