Hi Matthew, I haven't used trn in a very long time. I think I used tin years ago. I sympathize with your situation and I can assure you I have no intent of belittling anyone's efforts. A quick look on Takuo's page shows you are maintaining 8 (debroster, electric-fence, floppybackup, hmmer, word2x, xbs, openssh, trn) packages. You are maintaining the trn package that you don't like very much. Is this accurate? It looks to me like ssh has the most open bugs. This is a very important package. I also see you have 73+% Resolve Rate: of all bugs filed you have resolved 3/4ths of them. This is wonderful. Specifically regarding trn, all packaging is a volunteer effort. If you don't like trn, why do you feel you are stuck with it? What I suspect you have an issue with is using the Bug Rate as a statistic to measure effectiveness. So what suggestions do you have for how we should proceed? Thanks for your input, -- -- Grant Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
