You might not like it, but it's how we work in such cases. For X people against, I can find X people who agree, and in such situations, unless you're ready to launch a GR, you have to accept the decison of the person in charge or be ready to do the supplementary work required to satisfy everybody (such as an option that lets you hide this box). > Accept my disagreement (and other's disgreement) as Debian Developers. I accept that you disagree, but I don't accept that you should have the last word on this topic because you are not maintaining the PTS. > But not, aparently Ubuntu is the only derivative that matters. It's the only derivative which has the infrastructure required to share such information with us and it's the only one that's big enough so that the information possibly hidden in their bug tracker could be of interest to us in some cases. > So please, remove the link to the ubuntu launchpad bugs and since some people > think tracking derivated distros is interesting, make a new page, that can be > visited optionally (or just forget about for who is not interested), where we > can track whatever derivated distro people care about. Just forget the box in the corner... it's the same as forgetting about a page (which would be linked from the PTS anyway). > Call it Debian Ecosystem Packaging Tracking System or something like that. > You can start with Ubuntu there and if people is interested in another distros > they will submit their patches, and if another distros are interested in being > tracked, they will make it to be easy tracked. The day where we have more than one interesting distro to track, I'll gladly do that. > Heck! it could even track another distros, not only derivatives and being a > first step for sharing patches across distributions, idea that is around > without > any implementation. Of course, this would be great and I'm interested in this, but it's not directly connected to the problem at hand.
