That's simply not correct.
Eh, I would think taking a class in reading mails prior to running for DPL would be a good thing for you. My mail implies that I want to have an opinion from you on that. It doesn't imply personal experience with such behaviour. But I think that it is important for any DPL candidate to be able to be a conflict solver, and - as the recent dpkg case has shown - conflicts over commits do happen, and can get quite bad. I don't have any doubts with the other two candidates, but as you have played an active role in such conflicts at least twice (on different sides of the conflicts), I would be interessted in your anwers. As I have learned, you didn't really want to answer that. > > So, perhaps you can give me a summary why e.g. Ians commits to dpkg > > wasn't ok, even though he was trying to get his patches integrated for 6 > > months, but your commits to dev-ref were ok, even though you didn't > > contact me (or opened a bug report) and it is explicitly documented you > > shouldn't just commit? > > I wasn't aware of the new review rule and you didn't explain it to me. I asked you on IRC to stop committing for various reasons, one of it being a pending conversion of the dev-ref to another format, but you refused to do so, and you told me that you will commit anyways even if I object. > In Ian's case, he was aware before the commit that we didn't want him to > do the merge and despite the guidance that I tried to provide him, he > stubbornly was blocked to the unconditional merge of his branch as is > (that is with a messed up history). So the difference is that Ian contacted the dpkg-people before, but you didn't contact the dev-ref-people before, and for this reason, you were allowed to commit, but Ian was not? Interessting point of view. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
