probably one of the more qualified people to maintain cdrtools or a
prospective fork: I've written filesystems and software to write to
CD-R and DVD-R in the past, and I've already added several patches
into the existing Debian cdrtools packages. If I had more tu
n several of the large distros about working together to maintain
patches and/or a fork, but it bogged down due to lack of time - see
freedrtools.freedesktop.org for more details.

Hi,
The first thing I promised to do when I became DPL was to initiate a
thorough review of Debian's teams. Well, no time like the present!
I want to get an accurate, honest assessment of how our central tasks
are going and how well (or not!) people are working together in our
various teams. I'm
ggestions for more people to increase your numbers again? I've had a
couple contact me already to ask about this, and I have some people in
mind myself whom I think would be a good fit.

We've discussed this and I'm entirely happy to accept the TC's
recommendations for new members. Doubly so, as I personally
recommended both! Until now, I just hadn&#

Yup. The offer is still there if we think it will help, of course.

Thus turning a technical disagreement with the ftp team into a

You might think so. To me, that sounds like a hacky workaround for

To make this kind of change for stretch, we'll also need updates to
translations directly in the installer and in the installation
guide. I'm worried that we're doing this too late in the cycle - as
KiBi says.

There is a deeper worry about builds that may be done against the

WTF? *Nobody* has been talking about breaking ABI like this, that I've

Pointing at gentoo or nixos as examples of projects that have decided
to break compatibility doesn't cut it, I'm afraid. They're well known
for changing fundamental things around Linux and (b
is a valid and
useful thing to do. Your apparent lack of care for agreed standards
