Package: pype Version: 2.2.1-1 Good day,
Recently I recieved an email attempting to report a bug in PyPE version 2.2.2 . He expressed that he was using ubuntu, and I tried to walk him through getting it working, but to no avail. He then informs me that debian has its own bug page, and that PyPE is in unstable because it crashes for people, and it has been doing so since at least 211 days ago (according to the web site). Being that I'm the author of the project, it would have been nice to know that people were having problems with my software, and I'm curious as to why *no one* contacted me for almost 7 months. Note that both of my web pages (personal and sf related) are listed within the readme.txt distributed with every version of PyPE I've ever released, and both of those pages offer contact information. I don't know if the software you are using for bug/patch management offers multiple "maintainer" email addresses, but at least I've never heard from Matthias Klose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who is listed as the maintainer for the pype package (just did a search of my spam folder). I guess I am curious to know how I can realize I need to fix a problem, when no one is telling me about it. Yeah. If it is not already debian package policy, perhaps it would be nice if there were a method whereby the actual authors of software could be notified if the package containing their software has issues. Thank you, - Josiah Carlson Author of PyPE. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
