Hi Eriberto, > About your message above, I disagree with several points, starting by > "love" word. Love is a very good reason to maintain packages, but not the > only condition to become a DM. I completely agree, the word "love" is my reason for keeping packages, keeps me contributing to Debian. :) > You said "I do not agree with this, because who can say, it is the > sponsors who accompanied my development with the packages I have in > Debian." Now you have 8 packages and 2 QA works. Searching in all tracker > pages linked to you, I can count 45 uploads of which 4 were made by your > advocate. You already had 9 sponsors up to now and, recently, I was one > of them. So, I think I can say anything. Thanks to everyone who sponsored my packages and encouraged me, they guide you to get better and better. Thanks also to you, despite being a recent package looking to learn new things about packaging in DebConf19. > In DebConf 19, to answer to a question from a student, I quoted in the > workshop that "packages are made orphan by several reasons".

Yes, I was very interested when you said that AssaultCube has been orphaned for a long time and knew that in github upstream there is a recent version of the game where I decided that this game would be my first package that I will adopt. I sent the updated game in the latest version. Since this is my first package I am adopting, I think I would have a sponsor to analyze and direct what is wrong or missing in the package, so I can fix it and not aggressively criticize it. All of my game packages are left as maintainers of the Debian Game team, so any future package issues that the team can work with. > You said "I don't think it's fair that a single (fondu) package thinks I > don't have the skills to continue my work with packages that are in > Debian, where you have never reviewed them." 1) I never said "you can't > work with packages in Debian".

I apologize for the poor understanding of English, but I am studying and soon I will be better. But I thought you were being very aggressive in your comments, as if I was a useless person, and that the games I'm working with are not mine and that I will hurt the Debian project. In my opinion, such a person loses all my respect, no one leaves his place leaving his family and his work for a distant event, where my desire is to gain more knowledge of a personal hobby to contribute to Debian. And then, when I make this DM request, I get criticism as horrible as a useless person. And I repeat again, I apologize if I understand this way. About the "fondu" package, I was not interested in doing so at that time. I was interested in learning "autopkgtest", but later I was interested in packaging orphan games. So much that I got to pack the "glpeces". Since all my packages are new and I created them, it would be my first time packaging existing orphaned software in Debian. Unfortunately, it was a mistake on my part not to talk to you in private, who knows that this horrible act we are having would be the opposite. > I would like to see one more Brazilian as DM (I am Brazilian too), but it > is not possible now. I will not comment on that part, I mentioned what I think. And I apologize if I get it wrong. > Conclusion: I worked recently with Carlos and I need to be honest with > Debian Project and keep my opinion: I disagree with his candidature to > become a DM. I am sure that he has several difficulties to maintain his > own packages (see also all RFS's comments to confirm it). I didn't want it to be like that, I think a comment like this gets tarnished for a long time and will hardly be accepted again. Therefore, it is able to not continue with what I like and do other work with games outside the Debian project.
