Re: Bug#357439: amaya_wx-9.51-1_i386.deb from Amaya website works on Debian
Regis,
If you've identified the problem as being in various mesa components I
see no reason to reassign the bugs to the appropriate package. By all
means give as much assistance as you can but if Amaya caused a kernel
opps no would expect you to debug it -- likewise, Amaya is causing an
OpenGL "opps". Let make available every resource we can to those who are
interested in helping it get fixed.
But that should mean those bugs sit on the Amaya package.
