libghc6-x11-dev is just one small piece of a much larger, more complicated system, and it is necessary to consider the whole system when making changes to part of it. I apologise if I am doing you a disservice here, but based on what I've seen you say you don't seem to have realised that your original proposed upload would have conflicted with the 1.3.0-1 package that I was testing while getting 2 dozen packages all working together correctly for the GHC 6.8.2 update. Nor do you seem to have realised that your current NMU will break libghc6-hgl-dev 3.2.0.0-1 - or at least I haven't seen any indication that you plan to fix it. I'm not sure if there are any other issues to consider; thinking about that is part of the reason updating packages is not trivial. > I think our users have waited long enough. I think users using unstable, and even testing, ought to be able to install the packages from your homepage if they are desperate for the latest and greatest. The primary purpose of testing/unstable is to prepare the packages for the next release. I'm sure we will get everything sorted out in plenty of time for the next stable release. I know that, due to other things going on in my life recently, I haven't been able to spend as much time as I'd like on Debian packaging; however, by doing random uploads, seemingly without considering all the consequences, you are just making it harder for me to make sure that everything gets done and everything works. > I hope there is no bad personal reason for the delay of your work. Thank you; there is not. Thanks Ian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
