Hi Joerg, It is my understanding that the 20-day RC removal is release team policy implemented manually. The steps to fix this bug are therefore: (1) Identify the problem [done]. (3) Offer a solution [done] - specifically - "don't create 20-day removal hints for packages with RC bugs except when its too late for a fix to be included in the forthcoming release". (3) Persuade the maintainer (release team) to accept the solution [WIP]. As you can see, I am doing the work, despite obstruction and ad hominem attacks from those who should know better. If there's code that needs to be updated I'll be happy to send you a patch if you point me to the source, but my (possibly faulty) understanding is that release team members were generating the remove hints manually. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
