FUD.
I created PGP keys three years ago because I needed to sign Debian uploads.
But I don't think it was enforced until (relatively) recently.

Re: intent to take mawk and gawk
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi. Just to make things clearer: If Chris asked you to maintain mawk and gawk for him, I have no objections. I was just a little bit annoyed because I already asked Chris the maintenance of gawk several months ago (at that time I agreed with him to do a non-maintainer release). So in my first post about this issue I was expecting an objection from him, if from anybody. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNUg4nSqK7IlOjMLFAQEf2wQAq3P0mU0BmEFEdfy7kW4uf0nctsBQjixk VRP9B1rWTl2xWlgnhAau7ZmKZZXGuekxbPqvT5Rh9eLkI7t/i/u7xy/q4iL8Qf9B 02fhIalmiSPdHIyBye8eIVFoXWXpC+/gKopgXu6TpGQb7oTdAkrNMJYRMEvhGyAd XQBL1MViizQ= =r7zU -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've talked with Christopher and I'm taking the packages on a temporary basis (but as the real maintainer). Christopher still wants to maintain mawk gawk and is still around, he anticipates the possibility of being able to work on them again RSN, but if that doesn't work out, I will actively maintain them until he is ready. I'll try and work on both packages tonight or tomorrow (YAWN süger) and fix whatever outstanding issues prompted Santiago to try and hijack the packages.

Do we have the rules for taking an orphaned package? Uh, first and foremost, mawk and gawk are *not* orphaned. And what's being done in secret? I'm announced my intent in my previous message to debian-devel (which you quote here). Talking of doing things in ``secret'', did you communicate with the current maintainer of mawk and gawk before announcing your intent to hijack them? Also since when did we have restrictions on who maintainers passed packages onto? If I want to give ed to Martin Mitchell[1], I don't expect for anyone to complain without extremely good reasons. What objections have you got to me maintaining mawk and gawk? [1] Just an example, Martin doesn't want it, and I don't plan to give it up RSN. -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
