I've seen no bashing yet, only statement for facts: the packaging is way under Debian's standards, and should be fixed, and the uploader hence isn't ready for being a DD nor a DM. If it was bashing, we would have read: * packaging is crap ; * maintainer is a moron ; * sponsor is so careless and stupid that he let this through. Fortunately I saw none of the previous yet, only you overreacting. Could you please step off your big horses ? My point on the issue: when you ask for being a DD or a DM you ask for a public review of your work. There is a probability or a risk for it not to meet Debian quality standards, and that someone will state it. And if you _really_ want to blame someone, then blame people that advocate or sponsor others without really checking anything thoroughly and sent this application in the open. Note to every DD out there: if you advocate anyone, other developers _will_ check the work of the guy you just advocated. It's not a choice to be done lightly, because if you advocate people that aren't ready, they will meet way more difficulties than the slight frustration of you explaining to them they aren't ready. It's your role as a sponsor to be sure the guy you sponsor is ready and gets things right. Cheers, -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
