(http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker/2002-03/msg03182.php) Perhaps I'm thin-skinned. But sometimes I believe that only a few people got answers to their emails. And I'm one of these guys making noise in your ml. >From my point of view this holds true not only for such questions as above, but generally. I posted some bugs during the beta/rc period of 8.2. Regarding those bugs which I was the only one who committed - okay, not many, perhaps only one or two - I got no response at all. I had to wait for a new package each day, looking changelogs, when it was changed. I often saw better examples of reactions of package maintainers/developers. Don't understand me wrong. It could be that I'm greatly thin-skinned and frustrated. And probably my bug reports and RPM packages are bad. But I think that my criticism described a real trend. Ralf.
