Bug#366938: svn commit access to the d-i repo ...

[Andreas Barth <aba@not.so.argh.org>]

Hi,

sorry for top-quoting. but network is here at debconf a bit flaky
currently at Debconf. I spoke with Frans about this request, and Frans
would accept / prefer if we do a real decision about this topic, and not
say "we don't deal with it". And, BTW, I also think that we should make
a real ruling on that topic, as this would finally settle the issue.


Cheers,
Andi
