Please consider the following points: - RFA means you can adopt the package with the approval of the previous maintainer. Which I never did do. I did read the messages of Alessandro but they needed more consideration. - The RFA called for adoption of the package in conjuction with egroupware, which AFAICT, neither of you considered. - There is currently a release freeze, which means that no new packages, least of all completely new upstream versions, should be uploaded. - I saw in the changelog "Added php4 dependencies". What is the point of that? There is no PHP4 in Debian anymore. All of these points together indicate to me that this package takeover was not very wisely planned and executed. > Do you want me to upload the old version of the package with a new epoch, > put you back as a maintainer, retitle the bug from RFA to ITA, do again the > upload with a new epoch? I ask that you upload the old version of the package with a new epoch, put me back as the maintainer, reopen the RFA bug, and refrain from interfering with the package until after the lenny release and further consultation with me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
