First of all in my way has the fact that I happen to be project leader anything to do with this. The fact that I also happen to maintain the base-passwd package is more relevant. However in now way did I force you to do anything. I filed a bugreport on November 17 last year requesting that qmail changes uids to another range. The reason was partially the fact that I preferred not to have uids for non-free software in the default passwd, and partially that I wanted to clean 0-99 range up anyway, the qmail entries there were actually in violation of our policy. We discussed this a bit in email, and you suggested discussing it in public to which I had no objection. I don't remember any public discussion though, although I could be wrong here. I didn't change base-passwd until Januari 14. After initially agreeing with the solution you later said I forced you to do it.. I offered to reverse that change so we could work something out for woody instead but you said you'ld rather fix it in potato now that you started on that. So please tell me where I forced you to make that change? > But that change was quite reasonable (no other package owns that many static > UIDs, so why should qmail?), and it didn't hurt the package - you just had > it switch over to new numbers, right? Actually it was a PITA from what I've heard of it, and perhaps we should have discussed it a bit longer. However what's done is done, and from what Jon mailed me when we discussed this it looks like he did an excellent job to make it as painless as possible.
