Well, it isn't because of unstable API (yes, I plan to change the API quite significantly for the next release, but that's not the point). The thing is that 0.0.8 version as now included in Debian is just too buggy. On the other hand, current 0.0.9 has all the known bugs fixed, together with some (not all) limitations. > I think udns is great software and useful enough to deserve > distribution, although no other software in Debian depends on it yet. > > Unless he says that he is OK in keeping it in Debian (he has not > answered my reply to him yet), I will request tomorrow the removal of > udns from Debian Etch. Perhaps, I will maintain it on experimental. Well, if it's not yet too late for etch, I think you can release it there if you really want.. ;) At least I'm not THAT ashamed by 0.0.9 as I was by 0.0.8 (at least not until more stupid bugs will be discovered ;) I think I owe you something. At least, I did the release, without discussing everything I wanted to with you (that other email I didn't reply to yet) - just because it happened that I had almost no time to do anything and due to some umm.. pressure from various users wanting to use the new code... ;) > OT: Hope we can meet sometime.

Not that it's easy to do in many cases... Thanks! /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
