What i meant was that there are people in debian that moan and groan about ubuntu not asking them about their packages, so the original post was semi-justified because of that. i didn't mean that anything that might interest the people on the list is fair game. >>Burning bridges at all... > I considered editing this out, but I'm quoting it instead because it's > a neat bit of libel[0] in an attempt to change the subject.

At the time your response looked like it was triggered by the name Ubuntu, which is not that uncommon on the lists. Personally i didn't see it as a press release, it was an informational mail directed at debian developers. IMHO, the original post was semi-justified, your post was not. > [0] I don't know who made this shit up, but as far as I'm aware it's > purely fictional.

I keep an eye on both lists and this is the picture that comes out. I would assume that i'm not the only one that gets this picture just by reading the lists. - - S -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDyU8eqbb3MLg9dhwRAvRGAKCEaJF9sFV30+nFZ4gbfTUgnAsNUACgkrNI XhFOvHWXn++imv0jDmht8Is= =YrA9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
