@Wookey, not to sound aggressive, but you must not have looked very carefully. The majority of the bug reports CLEARLY have my name on it (both first AND last). The problems have of course changed over time, so I truly cannot recall every single problem of the last three to four years, some of them might have been addressed and new ones introduced. Why do you need to dissect that now (not that I would object to that in a different context)? The latest problem with 3.0.2 is that the program simply fails to start for me. That's about as RC as it gets, right? As I've said here (in my very first mail, I believe), I was in contact with upstream. Luckily, the mail didn't bounce and their reply in the meantime has been that the program works for them on Fedora but no other hint. I was now planning to investigate missing libraries. @ALL, it seems like no matter what I say, no matter how I explain my reasons, I cannot convince quite a number of people. So, I plan not to waste my time on trying anymore. Steve is much better of getting to the relevant points anyhow. I certainly made mistakes, I would say they are mostly cosmetic, questions of form I was simply unaware of, but others perceive them differently. I apologized, owned up to it and changed course. I had no ill intentions. Yet, I'm still the bad guy for a good number of people (I've been called "nasty" in private mail). I get all this for maintaining a number of packages for 10+ years in Debian and when I complain that one of the "packages I maintain" (!) AKA "my package" is stolen from me? I get basically told (by some) that my packages in collab-maint are free-for-all to upload as they please, demote me and disrespect my work as they please, I basically get told that I'm not free to choose NOT to host on such a service by somebody else. WTF? The aggressors who were the ones to violate proper processes on the other hand get a public pat on the back for manly behaviour and "no need to apologize" for failing twice. OK, I got the message...
