I have sponsored several of Kartik's uploads as well, regarding xosview (for which I am the previous maintainer). Some months ago, yes, Kartik needed quite a bit of hand-holding. As of now, however, I do agree his packaging (on what I have seen - this means, on xosview) _is_ of enough quality. So... Well, I do hope this public flaming regarding the fdisk messup is enough to fix the mistake (not minor by any means, but still a mistake) he did. Of course, as sponsors we are meant to check the uploaded packages do build and work correctly, and as a sponsoree/trainee he should be very careful when playing with overrides (in most cases, lintian/linda _do_ know best!)... ...But I do feel he should be given the DM privileges. And, of course, Kartik, please keep your eyes open! ;-) Greetings, -- 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
