For the record, the package has been REJECTed after being held for 6 months by ftpmasters on the following grounds:
quoting the original message I received: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: hot-babe_0.2.2-1_powerpc.changes REJECTED Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 10:00:02 -0400 Hi Maintainer, I decided to reject this package out of NEW. Sorry, but I cant see the use of this compared with the thousands of cpu-monitors we already have in the archive. - Its *very* imprecise and to actually get it to change images needs more than just a kernel compile (in fact in my test I never got it to change pics - i just got it to segfault). - Hell, there are much easier ways to get some interesting pics on the display. :) - We already have thousands of packages in the archive. And our users have problems to find whats important, so we constantly try to not add things that only increase archive/mirror size/packages list and stuff and are not worth it or where there is not much userbase expected. If you completly disagree with me you are free to - provide users with an own little repository for it. apt-ftparchive is easy and helps there. - complain with a reply, stating some very good reasons to try to change my mind. - Start a threadevel, similar to the first big hot-babe flamewar. But don't expect something useful out of a flamewar. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There have been some mails exchanged between the ftpmaster and me, and nothing worthwhile came out of it, so I won't struggle any more to get this package in. -- Thibaut VARENE Debian, Ubuntu and Kernel hacker http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet/ It is never wise to assume that genius programmers cannot do something because the incompetent or mediocre cannot. -- Eric Raymond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
