Are these regressions?
The first one is, the others aren't.
Otherwise, if these problems were present in the 20060918 package as
well, why don't you file a bug against the ltp package so we'll fix them
in
subsequent updates?
(typos corrected)
Well, when I first tried to use ltp, there were the other bugs that made
ltp totally nonfunctional, and these were already filed. So I started my
own packaging and found out there were many other bugs. I didn't file
these because there wasn't any response on the old bugs, and also because
I used a newer version of upstream. Subsequently, I fixed at least some of
these bugs, which meant creating 28 patches changing ~140 files (and more
in the debian directory that I don't manage by patches). And given that
amount of work, I think the normal Debian workflow (file a bug -> wait a
month for an updated version (1 month is actually pretty good response
time for a <serious severity bug) -> find out it still has other bugs) is
simply not gonna work. I have some ~50 bugs open, and these are mostly
bugs I cannot fix. So I'm not gonna litter my bug page with another ~10
for ltp that are actually easier for me to fix than file bugreport about,
sorry.
