Bill,
I am very sorry that I have not Cced everything related to the
libjpeg-transition
to you. I have honestly believed that you and everyone else involved was
following the transition plan as mentioned in #717076#225. As for the
takover
of the libjpeg62* packages it was discussed in the transition plan bug
#754988.
The CTTE made it clear I was only required to remove the Provides: libjpeg-dev
It did not authorise you to hijack the libjpeg8 and libjpeg62 binaries, and
you should not have made a plan that required it.
Hijacking binary packages that are still provided by other sources is extremely
crude. At the minimum, you should have waited for me to stop providing them
before uploading to unstable.
Please abide by the CTTE decision and revert that. You cannot ask me to obey
the CTTE decision while blatantly disregarding it.
You have been bullying me from the start, but this tops it all.
This comment makes me sad...
I don't know how not "hijacking" a package that is in old libs, that should have
been removed from the archive a long time ago, and that is not going to be
installable anyway even if it's not "hijacked" is going to be any useful, but oh
well...
You seem to think that Ondřej did this in bad faith, but it just seemed like the
sensible thing to do, and I didn't see any problem with the proposed plan. After
all, libjpeg62 had been long deprecated in favor of libjpeg8. Neither of us
thought you would care about libjpeg62 anymore...
But I guess libjpeg-turbo's package could be renamed to libjpeg62-turbo, and
then have all the archive depend on that, and make libjpeg62-turbo conflict
against libjpeg62... Not sure how that's going to be any better than the current
situation, but maybe you can enlighten me...
Sincerely,
Emilio
