Re: Sven Luther

I, for one, want to see the ban lifted.  Sven is one of the few who has made any effort to support IBM Power3 machines.  On the one post I did ask for help on, he was the only one to respond.  So far, he has the only kernel that will actually boot on my RS6000's.  It would be nice if the stock kernel that comes with Etch would do that.  It has something to do with the SCSI driver.  I get the white screen of death and never even make it to the penguin.

I see no reason to ban Sven completely from any debian lists and vote for 
the ban to be lifted.
      

Yea, that's nice.  If you want to discuss Sven and his ban or whatever,
take it up on an appropriate list (ie: not this one).  The people who
can do something about it, if there's something to be done, probably
aren't even *on* this list.  All you're doing is annoying those people
who *are* on this list.

Go talk to the listmasters about it.
    

Hi Stephen,

I did.  As said in the other mail:

  

The listmasters required that some discussion be held, and once finished they
be pointed at it, so they can decide wether to lift it or not.
      

If you're bothered about this discussion, it's easy to setup a filter to skip
it completely (e.g. by Subject:).
