For someone that is in Debian for so long its pretty bad how one can misjudge it... The release team has the authority to release Lenny. At whatever point they wish and feel good with it. They provide a list of what criteria need to be met for that. For the package contents of that release, they take whatever we, all the maintainers uploading packages, and what we, the ftpmasters, put into the archive. Now, if one dislikes a decision of a delegate, one can run a GR against it. Somehow we just had one, and the outcome does say they can release with the kernel that is currently in Lenny. Like it or not, but thats the option that won, no matter how fucked up the ballot may have been. Dislike this outcome? Do Debian a bad service and run yet another GR against Lenny. Or, to have something new, do such things right *after* a release, not right before one.[1] [1] But that wouldn't be half as fun complaining, wouldnt hurt Debian as much, eh? -- bye, Joerg <lamont> is there a tag for "won't be fixed until sarge+1"? <sam> depends whether the BTS is year 2037 compliant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
