Well, to some extent it is more a question of time that compentence, because one can become competent by spending the appropriate amount of time. Before I started to write that patch, I did not understand how triggers work. And that patch is mostly drawing in the existing documentation (which is scattered in three different pages, see <http://charles.plessy.org/Debian/debiâneries/triggers/>). So I think that somebody who wants to learn how triggers work can study the original documents, test and understand how it works in practice, and compare the original documents with with the Policy patch; that person will be fully qualified to second it. To the readers who wonder: trust me, it is worth it, please read the doc and review the patch :) -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
