No problem, I will mail you next time. > Note: the last upload of this package was last month and there is no reason > for a quick uplaod since there are no critical warnings pending for FROZEN. 1/ I reported 2 years ago a bug (#7570) that could be fixed in 5 minutes and just got bored to wait. 2/ lilo also had ~10 other bugs that could be easily fixed and since lilo is such a critical part of the Debian system it should be as bugfree as possible. 3/ In march 98, Peter Maydell took the time to write nice manpages for activate(8) and keytable-lilo.pl(8). Not having taken 3 minutes to include them in 9 months is just plainly unjustified and disrespects his work. I considered these 3 points as a good reason to make an upload. > Thanks for the patches anyway, I will include them in my working copy. Would > be better if you mailed them to me DIRECTLY. I usually wait for the package to be installed to send the NMU patch to the Bug Tracking System which is why you haven't got it yet. > Greetings > Bernd > > On Mon, Jan 25, 1999 at 12:17:29AM +0100, Vincent Renardias wrote: > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > > > Format: 1.5 > > Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 21:38:58 +0100 > > Source: lilo > > Binary: lilo lilo-doc > > Architecture: source i386 > > Version: 21-3.1 > > Distribution: unstable > > Urgency: low > > Maintainer: Vincent Renardias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Description: > > lilo - LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others > > lilo-doc - LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and > > others [d > > Changes: > > lilo (21-3.1) unstable; urgency=low > > . > > * NMU to fix the bug #7570 I reported on Feb 22nd 1997 > > (include real doc instead of the TeX source). > > * Include manpage for activate (Bug #10526,#8641). > > * Include manpage for keytab-lilo.pl (Bug #10526). > > * Add a link to undocumented.7.gz for liloconfig which has > > no manpage. > > * Close #20049 (This functionality is handled by syslinux, > > not lilo). > > * Fork a lilo-doc package to include the Postscript documentation. > > * Have lilo Suggests: lilo-doc. > > * Set severity of bug #29987 to fixed: When lilo.conf contains a passwd > > and is not mode 600, it displays a proheminent warning. > > * Set severity of bug #7629 to fixed: This is a perfectly legal option, > > given that the Debian policy is not to install lilo in the MBR by > > default. > > * Reassign bugs #5198, #8280 and #10526 to the package manpages since > > this is where lilo.8 lives.
