Re: A proposal to improve dselect
Ian Jackson is listed as the maintainer of the dpkg package which
contains dselect. I just sent him a short note letting him know that
there is a group of users who wish to help improve dselect, and asking
for his guidance. If he is very busy, he may prefer not to be a
member of the dselect project mailing list, but instead keep in
contact with a single representative of the group.
I noticed from the Debian web page that he tops the list of
maintainers with 141 outstanding bugs. I am certain that this is due
to his central role in the project and not due to any lack of effort.
Last year I read one of the mailing lists which he quite was active
on, and for several months I thought that he was the Ian in Debian. I
still consider him "the other Ian in Debian." It looks to me like he
could use some help.
I suggest that we await his response and guidance.
While checking out the Debian web page, I notice that there is a
debian-dpkg mailing list mentioned, but no archived messages are
available for it. Does anyone know the story behind that.
