And also don't prevent other to help. I won't force him to run 30 useradd, I know which hassle it is, and how time consuming it is. I resent him for blocking account creations on a regular basis because he doesn't accept anyone else doing the job. This is just absurd. I fully agree that Debian is about what you're interested in. But you should also do whatever is in your power to be sure everyone _can_ do what they are interested in. I know at least one of the NM waiting that is doing massive QA work, proposes NMU patches (that he cannot do himself 1 week after he sends the patch), just explain to me how DM will help him. Debian is not only about uploading packages. Being a Debian Developer is far beyond the upload rights. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
