Hello, I would like to know how can you give a negative vote for a maintainer who neglects serious bugs in the packages he's supposed to look after.
Michael Gilbert <[email protected]> ignores a serious bug #641873 in package xpdf for the last 3 months. xpdf is the only linux lean and fast alternative PDF viewer and it is broken in Debian. The bug is only present with the debian patches so he's the only person who can fix this. The same xpdf package also has bug #640515 also 3 months old - xpdf segfaults when printing. I wonder why is the xpdf package included in this shape in Debian at all if you can't view text and can't print. Other exaples of unsolved bugs: #622877 from 15 April 2011 (xpdf can't print landscape documents); this one is from the time you could still print in xpdf. So I would like to know what is the process to vote out a maintainer if he doesn't step aside and lets someone who is interested in maintaining his own packages. -- Regards, Emil -- Don't walk on the grass, smoke it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
