Through http://bugs.launchpad.net/ > Or it will be another bug report that will be never fixed? That depends on the Ubuntu maintainers. They should work with upstream, track development closely and if they cannot do this, they should not ship it. The simple rule is: Don't ship software you cannot support! And this rule not only applies to PA but to every piece of software and especially to closed source like Sykpe. If you cannot fix the code, you cannot support it. > Not saying Lennart will never accept the bug from non-RH user. I'm afraid he will, unless you compiled latest git from source.

If you are going to remove every piece of software that doesn't work 100% there will not be much left I guess. > It happened on many already, unfortunately for PA. I have to admit that when PA came up, it was rough and did not work correctly for me either. But I haven't had problems with it for years now and whenever I had, it was mostly due to other applications that did not work correctly. Many programs did not implement ALSA correctly, e.g. they hardcoded "hw0:0" instead of using the "default" soundcard and all this stuff suddenly broke with PA. But PA was not the culprit, it just revealed the bugs. > And I'm > afraid systemd is much more problematic (and harder to resolve) than PA.

They should make sure it works for everyone and if not, that it can be swapped with sysvinit. Even in Fedora, which implemented systemd first, I can go back to sysvinit.
