Barry, I agree with you about Ubuntu's responsibility. I was just commenting that Ubuntu shouldn't allow a package to fester if the package maintainer did not take responsibility for quality [seems to be the case here]. On the contrary, Ubuntu would be justified in removing it ASAP so as not distract folks who could spend their time more fruitfully elsewhere.
I am also a developer and I understand how a project can get held up by "one bad apple". -Richard Barry deFreese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Richard, Have you spoken to upstream? It is really not a distributions package maintainer's job to actively develop the software, it is their job to make sure the existing package works in it's current form in the distribution. Everything I have read on this package openly states that it was developed on PPC FOR PPC. Yes, you could argue that it's the maintainers job to work directly with upstream but upstream isn't always responsive. -- FTBFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64501 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter.
