In both cases I have made proposals to go forward but the other side have deliberatly ignored them. I can make nothing against stubborness. > As I have learned, you didn't really want to answer that. My answer is simple: it was wrong for me to commit in the developers-reference repository. But the fact that you didn't provide a convincing justification of the rule before you escalated it up to the technical committee is the reason why I took it as a personal bias of you against me instead of some rational decision. > > I wasn't aware of the new review rule and you didn't explain it to me. > > I asked you on IRC to stop committing for various reasons, one of it > being a pending conversion of the dev-ref to another format, but you > refused to do so, and you told me that you will commit anyways even if I > object. You used that argument twice at 12 months of interval, I was truly under the impression that you made it up to block further contribution from me. I was following the PTS and the bug report related to the XML conversion had not seen any activity since a very long time (Jul 2006!): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374220 I think I have brought all the facts in this thread. My behaviour wasn't perfect and never will be, but I have made sincere attempts to solve the conflict and you simply ignored them. The fact that you brought the story under a strange question for a DPL debate proves that you're not yet able to forgive me. I'm sorry for that.
