I guess I'm making the point in a roundabout way that I wonder if packagers are a bit too impatient. To me, if a delay of a week or two is affecting your packaging decisions, it feels like there's something wrong other than the delay, some mismatch of expectations from what I would expect a development process to look like for Debian. Waiting two months for a new package to enter NEW, on the other hand, is more disruptive and has occasionally been a problem for me. Somewhere between two weeks and a month is where the delay crosses into becoming a problem that sometimes needs to be worked around, IMO. But I suppose I'm arguing that I don't think the project should expend lots of time and energy on getting the delay below a week or two. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
