The packages are group maintained - If there is any kind of issue in packages you have uploaded as our group's and you go away, I can perfectly work on them, independently if whether they are RC bugs or what. I am expected to upload new versions, to keep track of lesser bugs, etc. _And_ NMUs are not in our SVN repository - only proper maintainer uploads are tracked there. Of course, NMUs can be added, but I have so far not seen them. > I have no other concerns. Great! I'm adding the group then to the Wiki page; of course, if needed, it can be removed. -- Gunnar Wolf - gwolf@gwolf.org - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF
