No, actually it's quite tragic. > either educate people Sorry, no can do. Properly setting down everything involved in RM for the installation guide would require hours of work. I see no reason to make that effort unless someone is actually interested in and willing to commit to helping out with the work on the installation guide. The normal first step in such a process is for such a person to become actually involved in the package, which would also mean he/she'd gain most of the needed knowledge as a side effect of working on the package. So far I have seen absolutely zero involvement (other than already mentioned earlier in the thread) from anybody on the team. > or allow them to make mistakes themselves, so they can learn. Why exactly should they need to make mistakes? The installation-guide package is being properly maintained. Sure, there's a lot that can be improved, but that is _content_, and that's not what's being discussed here. Releasing D-I in no way depends on uploads of the installation-guide. Sure, it's nice if the timing is coordinated, especially when you get to the stage of RC releases, but other than that there is zero dependency. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
