Indeed. > However, you then got upset when Pegasos support lapsed, and ripped into > me for not doing enough to fix it, given that you sent me an ODW. So, I Notice that first, this was an ubuntu matter, and i got upset, not because you didn't get the pegasos/X support fixed in a timely way, but because my patches sent to the ubuntu BTS where coldly received, and even ignored until i pushed some. > can't help but think, maybe this is another case where people explicitly > told you that they couldn't ensure the machine was used productively, > but you still got upset when it wasn't? Joey Hess received a machine in order to do daily d-i powerpc tests. This was the exact wording, and it was an additional machine outside of the first donation. I know since then that his machine broke, for whatever reason, some time ago, but he never informed me of this (we would have replaced it), and i only knew about this in Helsinki, and if he would have told me about this a week before, i would have swapped it out. The 4 machines i had in Heslinki for debconf admin purpose where all donated to to debian or skolelinux purpose, except the one where i burned the power supply, and supposedly the debconf assurance would have covered. So, with all that said, do you still believe it is normal that a perfectly running daily build was rejected in maybe a few minutes/hours after i sent that email, while i had offered to continue running it until a proper replacement was found, and some unstable solution has been used ever since, which doesn't even include to this day the miboot support ?
