Count me in support for sjr here. It's a thankless task to maintain software--every fix like this has to be weighed in priority against all the other bugs people are complaining about, and it seems like the bugmail never stops--and I know the temptation to respond tersely. On the other side, I'd also succumbed to the temptation to "escalate to Slashdot" when a bug I care about doesn't seem to be getting enough attention. The escalation was in questionable taste in this case: like it or not, the root user in Unix does have the authority to destroy the filesystem i he makes an accident. Be careful when you're root!
I'm glad the immediate bug was fixed--and so quickly!--and I hope that he wishlist bugs eventually get their attention, too -- both upstart growing the ability to check for mandatory arguments, and also for launchpad to distinguish reclassified bugs without confusing unfamiliar readers by marking them "Invalid". -- init: support mandatory arguments, or prevent starting of tasks without any arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
