In fact, despite the limited amount of time at his hands, he is doing his best to review my other upstream software package, which is arguably more urgent than hasciicam: freej, for which i've also fixed open bugs but had no way to upload them. ultimately what is very frustrating is just the fact of not being able to upload anything and to keep receiving bug notices that i have fixed in upstream months if not years ago, while volunteering to fix them and being an upstream developer for the software, willing to become DM for his packages. i hope i didn't annoy you too much with my mails and if it was so i apologize for my Mediterranean temper (but well, as your next gathering is in Bosnia/Erzegovina then you'd better start get used). one could call it just a rand, but i'm trying to give a point of view of an upstream developer willing to enter Debian and some hints why Debian is "not very popular" among software developers.. acknowledging such situations is the first step to make things better, no? in general i think less beaurocracy and more trust for people and the code they wrote so far would help Debian to get better. ciao -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 Send bitcoins to: 1EJYtvuq39hoWcventcnnvhPXh6i5QDReM
