Hiya


I'd like to continue to support you
BUT I do NOT want to continue to support Paypal !

@ https://www.debian.org/donations.en.html
one is mislead to assume it is possible to donate withOUT using Paypal
if one goes via »Click & Pledge«
BUT »Click & Pledge« is done via Paypal - in a shadow-manner !!!
- it's not clear before one can read the transaction at ones bank account


Paypal sucks...
follow the links on that webpage:

This piece of information is a bit terse, so for us it is a bit hard 
to act on it. Moreover, the Debian project mailing list is not the 
right place for reporting such issues.


Would you mind to file a bug report against the caja-admin package 
providing a little bit more detail? A command line tool for doing so 
could be reportbug, which should guide you also through the essential 
questions we need to have answered. This will also ensure the bug 
report is sent to the right channel.


Best regards,
Micha Lenk

official debian (testing) distribution within the next few month.

Please note that debian-project is meant for discussions about the
Debian Project. For development of the Debian operating system the
debian-devel list is more appropriate.

In this particular case you might want to file an RFP (Request For
Package).

https://wiki.debian.org/RFP


very interesting.  I did not know of the RFP facility

can that also be used to request packages to be included in the Live images?
I often use a Live and then install Gparted.
it would be very handy for those times I don't have internet access.



If done correctly, it will be automatically sent to debian-devel as
well.

Kind regards,
Andrei

I think far better than moderation is learning. And that's what we're doing

moderation is good, unless it is used to filter out contrary opinions... 
or use of words or names.

but Banning the author? would that serve some valuable purpose?

Thank you!

Do you really expect an answer?  Hard to explain -- I guess the
misinterpretation of one of my earlier comments led me to feel the need to try
to explain myself.

Apology (or attempt at explanation) is still further below.


(2) maybe bringing systemd into a discussion is (should be considered)
something just as disrepectful (harmful) as bringing Hitler into a
discussion.

i'm disgusted and not sure how I should comment on comparing a free
software tool with someone who's actions lead to the death of millions of
people and the holocaust.


I sincerely apologize!  I never intended my comment to express any approval of
Hitler or a comparison of systemd to Hitler.

no problem here. your humor is understood.
some folks are ultra sensitive on various subjects/words. It's a 
cultural thing I believe.

I try to ignore them.
  


I don't know if I can explain or if an explanation would help.  Without really
thinking about the actions of Hitler, I was just trying to suggest that
bringing up an off-topic subject that provokes controversy (like systemd) might
signal the end of useful conversation about a subject, something like bringing
up a different off-topic subject (Hitler) has in the past signaled the end of
useful conversation on other subjects.

To me, the idea of bringing up Hitler in a conversation is crazy / humorous,
even though his actions are far from humorous.

(I probably dug myself in deeper :-(
