I think this is a startup time for the DM procedure, and Kartik got the unfortunate honor of being the first DM with a poor package in the archive. We don't have any guidelines as to what constitutes so poor packaging that the upload rights should be revoked, what deserves only a public lashing, and what should be dealt with privately. I personally think that any package having a lintian override file is a suspect for the first option. Linda and lintian are there for a purpose and hiding their complaints is not something to be done lightly (I don't have that big a problem with leaving linda/lintian errors/warnings in the package, I've done that myself - at least then other people can easily see the problems). Remember that by applying for the DM status you are saying "I know I can handle (basic) Debian packaging without constant supervision." Sometimes you are wrong, and there's no shame in that - provided you learn from your mistake. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
