I think my whitelist said robos@muon.de so you may well have been sent
to spam.

Yeah ... I have Ubuntu on all of my computers as well. Given the shoddy
way I have been treated by Debian I am not sure why I am bothering. I
guess that since my complete career is now debian (and Ubuntu) based it
seemed good to try and help the project a little. I maintain about 10
packages at work for my employer BTW.
Sigh ... it could be that Debian is going to die. It seems that many of
the best people are leaving, and the political nonsense in Debian is worse
than ever.

Don't forget that the derivatives are only reorgs of the base distro, so
it really isn't as chaotic as it appears. But I do agree that the
developer money is watered down by their approach.

Hmm .. nothing at this time, I just wanted to establish contact because
I am trying to get the current vobcopy into Debian/Ubuntu and pick up
the bug fixes.
Good to hear from you again,
Steve
