Re: [OT] lazy maintainers
I don't see what the point is flaming myth over this. He works hard.
We don't pay him. He has not abandoned the package. Decisions as to
what versions to upload are his. There isn't any point discussing
whether or not kitame should NMU mozilla. It won't happen. Doing an
NMU without the maintainer's consent and without the maintainer being
MIA is one of the more evil evil evil things a debian developer can do.
Be patient. For goodness' sake, i'm the galeon maintainer and my
package is sorely effected by outdated mozilla versions... how is it
that I am in the minority supporting the current maintainer of mozilla?
For the record, someone mentioned that this thread was all about mozilla
being outdate... no, this thread was originally about some guy in NM,
then switched to the completely MIA and irresponsible maintainer of
abiword. From there some ignorant fellow voiced his approval of
kitame's attempt to knowingly hijack another maintainer's packages, and
some others piped in their agreement with the completely falacious
assumption myth is lazy and that a point-release in the 0.9.x series is
so important that debian policy and procedures should be ignored to get
it in a week earlier. Then I chimed in with this lengthy flaimbate.
