I didn't notice you pinging me on IRC, for instance. It was _at least_ three mails. One personal, one via the BTS and at least one from the upload queue. I have uploaded it to delayed, which send mail when the real upload is done and may mail daily as it progress.

You mean you didn't receive the mails from the Debian servers? Do you know the reason my mails arrived to the probably spam folder? I'll try fix that. > The reason that I'd not upgraded the package was that Luke told me not > to -- clearly I should have mentioned that in the bug, so sorry about > that. > > It seems that pyjamas-desktop is badly broken in 0.7, and Luke's intent > was to get 0.8 out of the door, but that doing so requires a couple of > weeks testing that he's not had time for.

That's my round, I didn't know that you are so close friend of upstream. Nor I know that it shouldn't have to be packaged. To turn things around, if I may help with testing v0.8 then please let me know. > Personally, I think that going from first contact to takeover in under a > month is a little precipitate.

What I've seen is that Squeeze will release with a pre-release which clearly won't have security nor other support; upstream released a stable (as it looks) version since several months gave the feeling it should go to stable. > Given that Luke and I are friends, who meet reasonably often, it seems > unlikely that you're going to do a better job of maintaining the package > than I would -- I'd be less worried about that if you'd contacted Luke > before acting, but the fact that you didn't do that bodes badly for the > ongoing upstream relationship. > > That being the case -- unless you have a particularly persuasive reason > for being the maintainer, I'll have the package back. Given with the fact that you are so close relationship with upstream, feel free to take it back. To make it more easy for you, I'll sponsor your package versions whenever you need it. > BTW do you have your diff in git (or other VCS) somewhere? None yet, but debdiff may help you.
