You had quite strong words for Frans, accusing him (and other d-i folk) of breaking your daily builds. They didn't do anything of the sort; *I* broke the daily builds, because there was a libnewt soname bump and udebs needed to be rebuilt against the new soname, which broke the daily builds until libnewt0.52 was installed in the build env because this was before we had support for udeb shlibs. That didn't stop you from accusing Frans of first breaking the build and then picking on you. > > It's unfortunate that even your resignation as d-i porter doesn't spare the > > rest of the d-i team from having their time wasted by threads like this. > Oh, thanks. so you also believe that the removal of my d-i commit rights was > warranted. As discussed on IRC, yes, I believe the d-i repo admins have the authority to remove the d-i commit rights of committers who have resigned, or committers that they believe are abusive, or committers who have idled out, and probably the authority to remove commit rights for other reasons I'm not thinking of right now. > Could you please explain this in the open, and not in this cabal like > fasion ? > (22:36:45)< vorlon> fjp: can you speak to why svenl's commit access to d-i was > revoked?
