that sounds good. Do you have a rough estimate when you will find time to synchronize the Debian package with upstream? As it looks to me, you two also disagree about the usefulness of some patches. Is there a roadmap what to do with them? Note, from my - ignorant - position it is almost always suboptimal to carry invasive non-mergeable patches in the long term. Given Simon also provides Debian packages, would you be interested in team maintenance together with him (pretending he's interested)? Maybe you could even join dma development upstream and decide there about patches and features? That would be ideal. If you both are interested, I am also offering my help with respect to the package maintenance. That said, I am not in the position or interested to decide about the usefulness of patches in cases where you two disagree. > Apologies again, and thanks for the patience to you both (and anyone > else who might be listening in)! Thanks, as for me there is no need to, though. I just stumbled into this bug as a dma user. :) -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
