Do you like to be pestered? > Do you like to be annoyed? Let's think logically for a moment. Which scenario do you like better: 1. (current) - new package is uploaded - wait a week - package gets denied because of some (trivial to fix) bugs - conversation w/ ftpmaster - upload again (with notes to ftpmaster in changelog) - ftpmasters have to check the package again - you get the response from ftpmaster like that above - wait a week (at best) - wait another week - WFT is going on ?!? 2. (wouldn't-that-be-easier) - new package is uploaded - wait a week - package is let into archive but bugs are filled/maint. is mailed - new package is uploaded (which closes/denies the bugs) Which do you prefer? :-/ Grzegorz B.
