On a different subject, which I don't think has been raised so far --- has the Debian maintinares for the upstart package made any comments about bug fixes or code contributions from Debian Developers who are personally opposed to being forced to sign copyright assignment agreements, or for whom their employers forbid them from signing copyright assignment aggrements (both of which apply to me). If I submit a bugfix as part of a bug report, will the Upstart maintainers reject it out of hand if I have not executed a copyright assignment with Canonical, or will they be willing to consider either carrying it as a local Debian patch, and/or rewrite the commit and submit it upstream to Canonical?
I don't think copyright assignment is a concern which afflicts Systemd, although there is a related concern which is that the upstream systemd developers appear to have a very strong point of view, and if there is some change which is needed for Debian or Debian's users, and it conflicts with their point of view, I could imagine situations where the Debian maintainers for systemd might need to carry a Debian-specific change, perhaps indefinitely. Is this something that has been considered by the maintainers, and is this something which is important to other DD's and the tech-committee? - Ted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
