package debian-policy user [EMAIL PROTECTED] usertag 299007 ctte thanks This proposal asks that directories in /usr/local no longer be writable by group staff.
There clearly was not consensus in this bug discussion for making this change, but neither am I comfortable as a Policy delegate with simply closing it, in part because those in favor of this change felt very strongly about it and in part because Ubuntu has made a different decision and implemented this change. Debian need not follow Ubuntu, but where Ubuntu has decided to diverge, we should look at their rationale and consider it seriously. I'm therefore going to delegate this decision to the tech-ctte under points 1 and 3 of section 6.1 of the Debian Constitution. I'm filing the bug against tech-ctte now. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
