That works both ways - those who do contribute and help Debian across a wide range of areas should be valued and supported, even if they show that frustration from time to time. Everyone makes mistakes but why must the most active contributors be the first target of criticism when they criticise others who do little to help Debian? What about those who simply obstruct other developers? Isn't there any wider consideration that uploading packages that are unfit for purpose and refusing to fix problems identified by more active, more respected members is only going to frustrate those who do care?
What packages do you have in mind?
Where's the criticism of the original post that brings nothing useful or new to the discussion and comes from someone who has done nothing positive to further the release of Lenny? It's laughable. Why must we always blame the responder and not the initiator?
Your questions assume several things I disagree with:
the original post comes from someone who has done nothing positive to further the release of Lenny
we always blame the responder and not the initiator
Overly long freezes are a pain but the solution is not to complain, the solution is to fix the RC bugs, help with the debian-installer, help with the translation team and get the release finished. That's what I'm trying to do, that's what Thomas was doing.
I didn't realize either mail did that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
