Good question. In my first commit I was said to never again create a branch because the build power was too limited. Then people complained because of committing directly. Once I got a submit request I didn't like accepted by somebody else. I saw people in this mailing list discussing different ways to fix something and never getting an answer (and the problem remained unfixed). Now I created a bug (PM-15) and a submit request (#192) for a fix that for me is so obvious that shouldn't require any discussion. And for a package that I don't think has any real active maintainer any more (I guess Pascal will be the one to accept it). So... there is no clear policy. And if you trust the maintainer/bugowner tags in the package metadata it's easy to be worried about stepping on the toes of somebody that isn't there. _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
