Re: Bug#457318: ITP: qmail -- a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer agent
This one time, at band camp, Wouter Verhelst said: I'd agree that there are way better ones out there. But I'd also say that it doesn't really matter which is best, and that this type of behaviour is quite childish. As long as qmail is free, packaged properly, and integrates well with the rest of Debian, I don't see why anyone should oppose its packaging. Whether or not it's a good MTA, the fact is that it's a *popular* MTA. That alone should be a good reason to package it. I don't agree with this, actually. qmail is so poorly designed it can't stay running without a supervisor, and in it's default state is a giant producer of backscatter. I believe Debian is about quality software, not just popular software, and those two reasons alone are sufficient for me to say qmail fails the quality test.

Re: GCC 4.1 now the default GCC version for etch
This one time, at band camp, Anthony DeRobertis said: Thomas Bushnell BSG wrote: For those keeping score at home, notice that doing the much larger task of upgrading GCC's version is apparently easier than python's. Of course, if you read a little further in the message to -announce, you'll see the part about oh, and maybe we broke 1600 packages, too. Full ACK. And it's also worth noting that the people interested in the transition filed bugs with patches for all but a few of them, which involved a massive amount of work. I suppose it's possible people interested in the python transition could do the same instead of complaining, but that seems a bit much to ask, sadly. -- - | ,''`.Stephen Gran | | : :' :[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `. `'Debian user, admin, and developer | |`- http://www.debian.org | - signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: GCC 4.1 now the default GCC version for etch
This one time, at band camp, Thomas Bushnell BSG said: Actually, since the very same person sent the GCC 4.1 announcement, and is the maintainer of python-defaults... Since the python team have decided to leave the rest of us in the dark, all I can do is guess that the job of upgrading python is impossibly difficult, and the people involved are embarassed at that fact. I don't remember seeing any posts from you about the progress of the transition testing. Have you gotten very far with it? How much of the python using archive have you rebuilt and/or tested? I am sure python people and the general devel readers would be interested in the results of your efforts. Thanks for your hard work on this. After all, just rolling up your sleeves and getting on with it instead of complaing is what makes the free software community great, isn't it? -- - | ,''`.Stephen Gran | | : :' :[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `. `'Debian user, admin, and developer | |`- http://www.debian.org | - signature.asc Description: Digital signature
