presuming that Philip will take care of the package and become a good DM quickly, I would like to sponsor the package - also haven taken notice of the PPC comment (a platform once close to my heart) and that the package may be important for my own work. And yes, Philip is a likely candidate for a strong supporter for the autobuilding and may help out with the PPC platform :) To continue the thoughts that this thread has brought back to our attentions, we need a way to become more dynamic towards external sites and backports.org may pave the way of such external efforts a bit. If one takes R/qtl (r-cran-qtl) for instance, it is only usable in testing, not it stable, it updates too quickly. Andreas: in my mind one always wants the latest version for at least three reasons, at least for those packages close to our biomedical domains: * bug fixes (there are "always" exceptions discovered) * developments (new ideas, new implementations) * communication (we want to make sure we talk about the same thing and "the latest" is the only invariant here :) ) With changes in the api that a stable workflow needs to take care of, one should set the package "on hold" via the dpkg --set-selections scheme. Philip, please contact me in a PM if there is still demand for sponsoring. Many greetings Steffen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
