Ok, that's correct. But please don't close valid bugs just because you
don't feel like fixing them today. python-glade2 is definitely not
something that is installed on an average Debian system. Since
ibus-anthy won't work without python-glade2, I think this bug's
importance is easily "Serious" and therefore RC. The original Ubuntu
bug was http://pad.lv/829876
I have checked that this does not exist in experimental version, as
upstream has dropped glade. I'm thinking about requesting unblock for
this update, bug give me some more time.
This is the only diff between Ubuntu and Debian for this package.
Debian's objective is not match Ubuntu. Please explain this update
benefits current Debian. Your bug report is not so friendly kind to us.
We are not releasing these for Ubuntu. Without assessing merit and
risks, no patch is accepted from Ubuntu.
I'm sorry if my bug report seemed rude or unfriendly. It definitely
was not intended that way.
Having packages in sync makes it easy to verify that Ubuntu didn't fix
something in their packages and neglected to forward that fix to
Debian (as this bug which was fixed in Ubuntu a year ago). You can use
http://packages.qa.debian.org/ibus or
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-ime-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
to easily check the Ubuntu versions.
Also, it is much easier on Ubuntu developers to include the latest
fixes from Debian if they can do a sync instead of a merge.
Just because you don't care about Ubuntu does not mean that you should
refuse contributions from Ubuntu.
We have worked with Ubuntu people extensively before, and such a long
statement is not necessary. But please make sure double check before
submitting patches because some Ubuntu patches are quick-n-dirty fixes
that we won't accept. Also please be kind to people here, at least
because Ubuntu's input method support actually relies on Debian pkg-ime,
and many (if not most) of the troubles you are dealing with at Ubuntu
are originated from your not accepting our advices for reasons that
Ubuntu people think something is good.
Please do not make us spend more time explaining than you thinking and
doing explanation.
Actually, it's your job as a Debian maintainer to triage bugs in the
packages you maintain. I've reported multiple valid bugs in
ibus-related packages today and given the somewhat unfriendly
reaction, I'm less motivated to do so in the future.
Your help is appreciated, but we are not arguing that your attitude
makes us less motivated to cooperate with Ubuntu developers in the
future. We have the responsibility to do our best but we are also
volunteers, nobody pays us for doing such work.
