Yes, this is a team, but... It seems to me that it is not our policy (or social style - we need not have policies about everything IMO) that anyone works on anything here - without prior coordination. It is always nice to ask _before_ messing with packages you are not directly involved in. Not sure if that was the case here, but from the reaction it seems so. In the Perl team we us the Uploaders field as a hint about who in the team is directly involved with maintaining it. We might do the same (if not policy here already?). I see teamwork not as all of us eating directly from the same big plate, but sitting in the same room eating together - being more directly inspired by work of each other than in big Debian, and some of us sharing some plates - but asking nicely before tasting treats from the plates of each other. So, instead of saying that "it is easy to roll back" I suggest that you roll it back yourself, IOhannes, since you did the change that is clearly disliked - technically correct or not. Afterwards, when not distracted by a social issue, it is easier discuss the technical issue of what package relation makes best sense for that particular package. hope this makes sense, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
