And if you don't push upstream, a) it will never get fixed, b) people will carry on making the same mistakes and c) every version bump takes much longer. It's also harder for QA to contact upstream than the package maintainer, since QA will have to look for the appropriate bug tracker or mailing list, whereas package maintainers know this already. And ultimately, it's a waste of QA's time. There are far more severe breakages and there are not many people in QA. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
