I’ve seen this kind of arguments again and again, and every time it looks more stupid to me. If you don’t have anything more interesting to say, maybe you could consider shutting up. It’s easy to try teaching lessons, but how about a reality check? Most Debian developers are interested only in maintaining their pet package, not in belonging to core teams. If what you suggest is that core teams should abandon their packages, you can immediately start looking for a new operating system. > I suspect you are right, the general quality might not be up to my standards. > However, as Manoj said, we did all sign up to maintain packages that conform > to policy, and I think the problem you are describing is with some DDs not > living up to their commitment rather than with the current process. I signed up to produce the best operating system possible. And unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible to do it with a 100 packages archive. > Removing > this just makes it easier for people to be sloppy, shift work onto someone > else, and pretend they are living up to that commitment. Or maybe that makes it easier for people to shift work onto something more useful. > Why would you bump the standards version without actually checking to see if > the package meets that standard?

I’m glad to learn that I can trust you to correctly put numbers in your control files. -- .''`.
