Hi, ... As some of you may have noticed, there is an ugly dispute going on between some few d-i team members (Frans Pop and Joey Hess mostly, but Geert and Holger also seem to support them), and which result in a over 6 month old dispute who is not even near to being resolved, despite numerous and various attempts to do so on my part. I have documented this issue somewhat on :
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FransPopAndOthersVs%2eSvenLutherIssue But despite these numerous attempts on my part to resolve this issue, and the numerous patches and fixes i have provided to not let the powerpc d-i rot and become more broken, there seem to be a clear will on the part of Frans Pop to take the powerpc users hostage in his warfar against me, and there are a number of patches which are now submitted since a few weeks, and which where not applied. As an example let's take the following bug : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=394971 #394971: rootskel: [powerpc64] load the fan control modules. Which was submited 29 days ago, with a patch and not commited. Furthemore, when i did myself an upload on sunday, which included the patch and fixed the bug report, Frans didn't incorporate the change, but reverted it today. As thus, in the current conditions, i fear for the support of d-i on powerpc for the etch release, and thus the quality of the release. I strongly urge you all to sign the petition to get this issue solved on : http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FransPopvsSvenLutherIssue/SvenLutherSupport Since you are all kind of held hostage over this petty dispute, by them stopping me to do work on d-i for powerpc, and in general wasting too much time on this matter, time i could spend working generally on the powerpc port.
