Re: Bug#485956: qmail rc bugs

2008-09-13 Thread Jon Marler
According to my calculation, the -46 release should move into testing  
today, as the 10 day hold will have lapsed.


Since the 10 day hold is up, I also filed requests to close the bugs.   
I had planned on doing it only after the migration to testing, but  
your snippy email has inspired me to close them early.


Kicking qmail from lenny would only punish those who wish to use it.   
It would not punish me.  Making such threats is counter-productive and  
very un-professional.  I don't know very much about common  
professional discourse in Germany, but here in Texas, we find actions  
such as yours quite rude.  I fail to see where such hostility is  
either necessary or warranted.  A new package was uploaded 10 days  
ago, I followed the documented procedure for requesting a freeze  
exception, and was simply waiting the requisite 10 days for the  
package to migrate to testing.


For your sake, I hope whatever other issues exist that are truly  
bothering you are resolved quickly.  Life is too short to go through  
it so angry.


Cheers!

Jon

Heya,

As you might have heard, we are trying to release lenny, preferably
soonish. To ease that, we remove rc-buggy packages which don't get  
fixed

in a reasonable timeframe. Anyway, my point: Get off your ass or I
will kick qmail from lenny in a week.

Love, hugs and kisses,
Marc

No, it will not. It needs to be unblocked by the release team and won't
migrate as long as it is RC buggy.

WTF? Do you have any idea how the bug tracking system works?

 A new package was uploaded 10 days  ago, I followed the documented
 procedure for requesting a freeze  exception, and was simply 
 waiting the requisite 10 days for the  package to migrate to testing.

WTF? That's not the documented procedure.


One of the main reasons for my snippy mail was that you have displayed
an embarassing lack of knowledge about current policy and procedures -
luckily, I don't need to give out pointers to people interested in the
discussion, you've just displayed them again. Please either catch up or
stop maintaing packages in Debian.
