Ah, yeah, and when where you going to fix this ? And when where you going to

That is no excuse, since you kicked me out, and where very quick to throw
away the buildd i maintained, just to get ride of me, without having proper
replacement.
Notice also that both you and Colin Watson, where donated pegasos machines,
(and guess who arranged that), so the unavailability of a decent build machine
is no excuse. At worse you could have used my buildd until a decent solution
was found, but no, it was more important to get ride of sven, than to care for
the powerpc users.

You didn't kick the mips/mipsel maintainers out of the d-i team though, so
your responsability is not engaged.

Same here.

There is something exceptionally wrong, and this is the unprecedented fact
that you kicked the powerpc maintainer out of the project, with uther contempt
for all the work i did do in the past for this, promised you had found a
replacement, and that the port would be well taken care off, and failed in
this.

Yeah, but you are to chicken to take the next logical step, namely to have a
mailing list report scheme or something to make people aware of this who don't
necessarily have time to daily look at the build log web page. But then, i
suppose you prefer bugzilla over our BTS too.
This is just a bunch of excuses, you expulsed me, and then the build failed,
and it was gone almost 4 weeks without being fixed. You are fully responsible
for this failure, and should assume your responsability.
But then i know already that you are not going to assume it, and like always
just do on more round of sven-bashing, and hope everything will be fine.
