Re: Could you allow me to switch DMUA flag?



Hi Kiwamu (and others),

No need to cc me directly any longer: I am now subscribed to the list.

Correct.

I prefer to work in collab-maint.  Reason for that is that I want to 
make the bar as low as possible for Debian members to contribute to the 
packaging.  If moved to pkg-haskell, a Debian developer would need to be 
member of that team to have write access.

Yes, that means that I do not make the bar as low as possible for 
non-Debian members to contribute: They (i.e. you) need to also request 
membership of the collab-maint group.  I do appreciate contributions 
from anyone, but casual edits are more likely to be sane from 
experienced Debian members than from people more loosely related to 
Debian, so I find it a reasonable compromise.


What is the opinion in the Haskell team on that?

Perhaps better to keep Pandoc out of that team instead of complicating 
team packaging habits?

Sure - just ping me when you need it - either for releasing or for 
opinion on something.

I don't call that to "sponsor", however:

To me, "sponsoring" is when you work alone and need someone to "bless" 
your work.  I find that different from "teamwork" where we work together 
and one of us that is a Debian member releases our collaborative work.

Sorry for the nitpicking - it is important for me to distinguish, 
because I don't like sponsoring but is happy doing teamwork.

No no, please feel "at home" - work on the packaging in general, 
including editing the rules file.  I only ask that you do not 
fundamentally restructure the packaging away from CDBS.  Reason for that 
is that I personally work most efficiently with CDBS - I am involved in 
more than 100 packages all done using similar packaging style.
