I have a hard time imagining that pulling things from sid at random points and putting them in a 'stable' ubuntu release without oversight works well, but... apparently it does often enough, if they keep doing it. I know we have people generating PPAs that seem to be paying reasonable attention to OpenAFS releases. Is it a ton of work to try to get that packaging or those people involved with the official Ubuntu packages? I don't know much about how Ubuntu works wrt maintainers and such, but as far as I can tell this is going to keep happening unless we have someone close to Ubuntu actively paying attention. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
