Hi Laurent,

Riccardo,
I would rather like to know what the fuck you think you are doing.
You've been tinkering (ie, breaking) that package, and I had to step in
to fix your mistakes.
well sorry, the package was broken to begin with. A package where I
can't type "mgar build" is broken, so I was trying to fix it, not break
it. it surely means it hadn't been built and updated since a while.
Now you are just taking it over, without any polite asking for it, and
AFAICT, without making a single committed change that would require a
reupload.
No single change? apart from it not working, it had to be updated to
libpng16.
Also, since I update glib, it is a good idea to reresh reverse depencies.
Other packages depending on it were not compiling for problems with it,
so I thought a refresh would be a good thing. (cairo)
Many reasons thus to refresh a build, don't you think?
Also, I asked you if you were going to upload the package yourself,
after the fixes you did. I waited a day to see if you would upload it, I
asked if you were done, I got no answer and just uploaded it since it
built fine for me.
I'm all good to give packages to other maintainers, since I've got less
time to deal with them myself, even to those who have shown
unwillingness to make their own research.
But in your position, the *very least* you can do is *ask*.
No intention to "steal" the package from you! I don't want to rob the
glory. Perhaps I'm not as touchy about being a maintainer of a certain
package, since it just get assigned/changed with an upload. I can even
think it as a bit inconvenient: another person can't step in temporarily.
Sorry,
Riccardo
