Sadly, we are all losing here. You're a fscking great maintainer, as I was able to experiment with our interaction on some bugs, and it's a loss for the WHOLE Debian you're demotivated to maintain those important packages. Hope in some days/weeks, when the situation will cool a bit, you might reconsider your decision. Cheers, Sandro /me still has to understand what's the point in shooting on ourselves... we are losing! every time a maintainer (being a DD or not) reaches his limit of patience for the sake of nothing. - -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Use GnuPG with Firefox : http://getfiregpg.org (Version: 0.7.4) iEYEARECAAYFAknFK8YACgkQAukwV0RN2VD08wCdHNbguc2DdBEPp3RWRomtSOYz Wf0AnRfRskMVq2cwe4TWDL0PdLJr3z04 =2hwQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
