How about treating the lintian > bug for what it is? A feature request, nothing more, nothing less. Yes. I should indeed not take that personally. That's actually kind of what I was trying to say, but you got a small bit of a core dump along with it. My apologies if it sounded like I was trying to make my emotional reaction your problem. The point of sharing that information was more to partly explain why I was reacting too strongly instead, for which I apologize. The Lintian bug is an entirely reasonable feature request, even if I personally would prefer you did maintain S-V in your packages. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
