Where did I force a maintainer to do anything? I asked if there is any COMPELLING reason for me not to reenable qt3-devel. If there isn't, then of course I will reenable it. It wasn't me who then started a long off-topic discussion about imagined or otherwise risks of TDE. > If you can't work here by that, or if you are not happy with how > things go here, you are free to discuss this openly with members of > the council or of the board to sort it out. Is there a procedure for that somewhere? I would think such discussions are supposed to happen on the MLs (rather than in private) and given that board/council members posted in this thread I would assume that this discussion is happening here. Are you saying that the members of the council that posted here in this thread would give a different answer if I contacted them formally (how?) as members of the council? TBH I didn't even want any grand discussion, to repeat myself I was just trying to find out if there is anything blocking the reenabling of qt3-devel. (I hope this point is finally clear enough by now) > So why all the fuss? Take the maintainance of the package, make your > changes, submit it and here you are. If you re-read the thread you will find that I didn't start "the fuss", in fact it was started by people expressing fears about TDE and some board/council members putting preemptive vetos on TDE. I have no problem co-maintaining the package (with regards to the devel side of it) but I'm not aware of any formal procedure to take maintenance of a package. Is there such a procedure formalized somewhere? -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/
