This response comes not automatically from sourceforge, but from some Fink developer who tries to be helpful by treating the tracker backlog. Sometimes Fink developers are too tired... > I have also submitted updates for other packages and the SF response > says I should contact the maintainer first and if I don't hear from > him, I should send a message to this list. > > So, I understand that I should always use this list instead of > submitting updates via SF, isn't it? No. You should, as you have been doing, use the submission tracker, and, if your submission is ignored for too long, send a reminder to the list. Treating the packages waiting on the submission tracker is not an automatic procedure; it is not even done in a very regular fashion, it depends on the good will and the amount of free time of a handful of volunteers, both of which are subject to strong fluctuations. So please be patient. And be assured that both the Fink developers and the Fink user community do appreciate your contribution. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
