Hi Raphael, I had already seen that policy. The portions that apply to Ian are in fact recommendations rather than mandates. Even if misconstrued as mandates, that policy says that Ian can rebase as many times as he wants (zero?) and then merge. You're arguing that Ian has to rebase as many times as you want (one?). Where's the dpkg team policy that says Ian has to rebase? Thanks! Guillam last summer said that 24 hours to review a change might not be enough, and left us with the impression that 2 days or maybe a week would suffice. It was an opinion but not a policy. I have not found any policy that says Guillam should have six or more months to block a change. Particularly where the blocked change has been working without significant problems in Ubuntu for months. Where is the policy that says Guillam can block a change for six months? Thanks! > Now I would appreciate if you could stop spreading lies and > aggressive remarks in this thread. As of this writing it seems that it is in fact you that has mis-stated dpkg policy. Specifically: the policy to which you have posted a link does not state what you have claimed dpkg policy to be. Hopefully you are not a liar and that was only a mistake and you will now post a link which supports your claim. If not, please retract your mistaken claims concerning dpkg team policy and permit Ian to get on with improving Debian. > Find something useful to contribute to Debian. Debunking the nonsense which has prevented Ian from improving Debian is a positive contribution. For an example of a negative contribution, consider the insecure programmers who have blocked Ian's excellent work for approximately six months. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
