Re: Bug#649274: Forming a new upstream for timidity (and reporting various issues with current deb pkg)

["John D. Hendrickson and Sara Darnell" <johnandsara2@cox.net>]

"If timidity doesn't get IPv6 support soon" ?

I don't see IPv6 as important.  It's a major maintenance burden (a hack to firewall, configure, 
...), IPSs use it to dominate ISP sales, and so far no one claims to have a final spec on it.

when is IPv4 over IPv6 a sin?  are bsd sockets a sin (they are old)?  and html (pdf/flash is better)?

personally i don't like hearing "i added code but broke 1,000 other packages".

just commenting on "improvements that don't state they bump major version but do worse anyhow".

not that you all did it :)  us all i'd guess.

Thanks,  John Hendrickson

p.s.  (sorry i can usually fix code but cannot say I'm situated to maintain at this time)
