Yes, it's a joke! ;) OK, well, I think kaffe-1.1 may be important in Debian java evolution but I also understand that the participation in Debian is not a full-time job! I do not think no one here would like to receive a phone call at work, from someone who is even not a Debian Developer, to hear: "Would you like some help to package kaffe?" I really love Debian but I'm not sure how I react if someone call me at work... or we discussed that by email! ;) On Wed, 06 Aug 2003 17:16:01 -0400 Christopher Browne <cbbrowne@chvatal.cbbrowne.com> wrote: [...] > Not at all.

It's not a problem, I can spend more than 2Euro to give a phone call for the Debian project! ;) > If a $2 phone call were to get things flowing, that would be $2 VERY > well spent.

Maybe you've also notice I'm not so confortable with english, I do not want to be rude or misunderstood. In my first mail, I asked that no one does a NMU. I'd like Ean to have a look at it and that HE does the upload. I do want to help, no hi-jack package or offense developers! Cheers, -- Arnaud
