As in "astro", for the time being.

Well, I've just filed two bug reports, one for the NAT ping issue and one for the fileserver issue. I may try to cover the idledead issues later today. (I need to research them a bit first.) I also suspect that it's going to take less effort to just maintain PPAs --- for me personally it's already quite clear, for the community at large it may be harder to estimate --- than to push updates through the Ubuntu process, but it doesn't seem right to surrender without even trying; so let's see what this experiment will lead to. I wouldn't single out Ubuntu: Debian's own policies and practices can also be quite frustrating at times (and don't get me started on Apple's…) _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
