P.S. If the maintainer of the package in question is reading this right now, and you just haven't had a chance to get afreeze-exception yet, that's okay! I just want to know that it will make it for release! Thanks for your hard work!You're being rather vague, mentioning neither the package nor the bug number, so I'm not certain if the maintainer will recognize that he is meant, even if he reads this list. So, what is the bug number?
Well, that's because I wanted to give the maintainer a chance to fix stuff before calling him out. And as it turns out, he did, and the new version of open-vm-tools (the package in question) will be headed into lenny in 11 days (wait time got extended from 10 to 15 days). And kudos and thanks to Daniel Baumann for his work on open-vm-tools and about 150 other packages (wow). Had I looked harder at who the maintainer was and how many packages he maintained, I probably wouldn't have even started this thread. Now I feel sheepish about it, and will go into a corner and hide.
