Thanks. I don't expect you to provide patch or even test - but that's certainly nice if you do, and may obviously help speed up the process. But filing a bugreport against each reverse dependency is quite helpful, telling me as a person via another bugreport is inadequate - I am unable to remember all activities across all the packages I am involved in, and eventually, ideally, I am not maintaining them alone. My main concern here is the upcoming freeze, where mistakes hare harder to correct, and response time is gradually tightened - and although I have been relatively quick to respond in the past, you cannot rely on that in the future: I am studying, which steals my attention in waves at a time. Thanks for all the great work on Rust packaging, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
