I didn't knew up to now that we need a committee to run a buildd, and that the committee of the buildds I maintain negotiates with the committee of the buildds for unstable/main+contrib. And, BTW, the buildd admins of the experimental buildds are in touch with the buildd admins of the unstable buildds - and I discussed that matter with Ryan and James before setting up the first buildds. Now you might see the difference: Because in the buildd case, it makes sense to distribute the load on more shoulders (and btw, it doesn't buy real advantages to force the same people handling unstable to also care about experimental). And there is a good working relationship between the different admins. However, in the DM case, you didn't speak first with the people knowing about the issues, but tried a rewrite from scratch. And, apart from any issue what you needed to discuss - I don't think the current proposal has a big enough usecase (please see what e.g. Russ has written) to warrant it risks. Joergs proposal seems better to me. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
