i loudly complain about the fact that you reupload at least
alsa-lib-1.0.2 tarball with some changes w/o any notification (neither
on alsa web site, nor in some ftp server notification file nor in this
ml).

this is just plain innacceptable.

we only found it because some user complained that cooker
alsa-lib-1.0.2 package was broken whereas downloaded tarball from
ftp.alsa-project.org wasn't.  people should at least be warned about
the reupload.

reuploading a file should never be done.
if some bug needs a urgent fix or if wrong tarball was uploaded, the
right thing to do with respect to packagers is to reupload
alsa-lib-1.0.2a.tar.bz2 not plain alsa-lib-1.0.2.tar.bz2.

i would like to see alsa team promise they'll never reupload a file
again, at least not without notifying people.

it seems the kernel drivers also have been reuploaded.

now, which other file also have been reuploaded ?
