>Ian, should non-maintainer releases be allowed into frozen/unstable >without checking with the maintainer first?
this is nothing where ian needs to do a statement : people should behave and help each other. in this case there was good will, but bad behaviour (i guess). please both : cool down and learn from this unlucky situation. now: how can we make sure, this doesn't happen again ? one thing could be : automatic script to check latest version of everything. but maybe this isn't necessary, if everyone gets the news from freshmeat ... what else could we do ? with a cvs tree, we could check in changes, so the maintainer can see there is a new version, and someone already did changes. but most important : lets form small teams, working on a common group of packages. with so many maintainers you never know who is doing what. small teams could do a better job in looking who does what, and makeing sure, that at least one person does the necessary things. andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
