Paul, why do you never respond to bug reports ? Why did you never respond to Richard Braakman mail about release critical bugs ? Because of those 2 things we can read this in the RCB list : |Package: fetchmail (debian/main). |Maintainer: Paul Haggart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |[HELP] Maintainer is not responding. | Someone should take over the package. (RB) | 43139 fetchmail flushed after failed delivery |[WAITING] Maintainer was contacted on Dec 12, awaiting reply. | 50990 fetchmail: mail was fetched and deleted from server but never sent to local MTA |[WAITING] Maintainer was contacted on Dec 12, awaiting reply. Will you upload fetchmail 5.3.3 to potato RSN ? Do you want someone else to do it ? Do you still want to maintain fecthmail ? If yes, then please try to be more responsive and more "active" in your job, it's not acceptable to have release critical bugs on packages for more than 20 days ... Check from time to time this page to know what bugs you still have to correct : http://www.debian.org/Bugs//db/ma/lPaul_Haggart,phaggart,debian.org,.html Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog >> 0C4CABF1 >> http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/~raphael/ <pub> CD Debian : http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/~raphael/debian/#cd Formations Linux et logiciels libres : http://www.logidee.com </pub>
