Yes, I'm still around. I was out of town last week, and when I left,
there were no "important" bugs filed against nvi. I just found this
this morning when I was catching up on mail. The "important" bug
bug is a lintian thing about the internal md5sum file including
files that aren't in the the actual package (because the md5sum
in debmake was done before the man-pages were done).
1: Why is this "important"? It doesn't fit any definition of important
that I've seen -- the package installs and works correctly.
2: Why was this bug filed 5 days before the freeze? Some of us cannot
read/respond to e-mail on a demand basis. I travel for my job. Sometimes
I'm going to disappear for a few weeks at a time. When I left, nvi
was fine.
I'm going to downgrade the bug to normal, and ask that the
package be put back into frozen. But not right now. Probably tomorrow
night.
