Bug#594684: Package

[Panayiotis Karabassis <panayk@gmail.com>]

I was asking other USERS what they think.

So, let's get this straight:
1) Your users have a found a critical bug with your package.
2) Your users invested a great deal of time and work in tracking down
the bug, and fixing it, what YOU should be doing.
3) Your users have supplied you with a working patch, and built a
working package, which you only have to review and upload.

But YOU would rather leave a great deal of your users (and actually
users who are using a Free computer) without an Xserver. So that you
don't have to type the command 'rm 01_mips-sarea.diff' sometime in the
future.

Great work and great sense of responsibility. Keep it up.

P.S. From what I understand from previous messages, the patch has
already been submitted upstream. But isn't that your job TOO? Otherwise
what's the point of the BTS or even a distribution?
