Point is, DM is about maintaining packages in Debian, not about random fixes that are per proposal, forbidden. You should read the proposal again, it's to give upload rights on a given package, after a given time where you proved you were able to do the job. If you are _that_ interested in helping the TeX packaging team, join it, I think it's co-maintained on alioth, you just need an alioth account, it takes a few minutes to have one, and you'll have to ask the pkg-tex people to give you commits rights, which should do what you really want. DM is _not_ about giving random upload rights to people who don't want to learn a basic minimum about the community or just do 2 fixes a year. It's not worth the trouble. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
