Er, Martin is doing analysis across the entire Debian archive that is mostly automated. It would take significantly more time and effort for him to individually track down the appropriate upstream bug-reporting address for hundreds of packages on which he's doing automated QA, as opposed to leaving it to the maintainer who already knows how to do this. Martin's goal here is not to improve individual packages; it's to get the entire Debian archive in shape for the transition to gcc 4.3. These sorts of archive-wide QA efforts are common, and it really is the responsibility of the package maintainers to forward the information upstream as appropriate. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
