AFAICT Guillem only has time for dpkg-related activity in spurts, and indeed for my few small contributions it has been painful to wait in suspense for a while to see if they would be accepted. I should say that when he does have time the results can sometimes be really amazing. I want to see the conffile handling in dpkg get fixed, but if waiting for Guillem periodically is a necessary part of it, well, I just don’t see how I can help. That is why I suggested trying to find a way to get this reviewed and deployed somewhere, working on the debian-dpkg@ list, without the requirement of it being merged to master immediately. > given the amount of work i've already invested into this (60-80 hours > would be a conservative estimate) I would have guessed much more than that. It is not really fair, but what can one do? Thanks for that work, by the way. :) I like the overall design. Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
