Hi Jonas Smedegaard,
Fine that you contact me privately (since I have been silent at the bugreport), but please keep the bugreport in the loop too.
I take the liberty of responding via the bugreports, as I see no need for discretion in your post.
I did a NMU package to close 584653, could you give me permission about this? Moreover I think that bug 584663 is the same bug 584653, could you merge this into bts?
Doing an NMU implies taking the responsibility of keeping an eye on the NMUed package and take care of fixing potential collateral damage caused by that NMU.
Are you willing and feel competent to take that responsibility here?I am not, myself, willing to cherry-pick any more patches from upstream. The pile is too big already, and some bugreports have emerged about problems supposedly fixed by some of it but not working - most likely due to missing some parts.
As I told Moritz (in another private mail, unfortunately) my intention is to package the new upstream release of Ghostscript and try convince the release team to accept that for Squeeze. I told him this a few weeks ago (IIRC) and still haven't found the time to finish it, partly due to my laptop often overheating and shutting off without warning these days :-(
If not acceptable, I strongly consider to step down as Ghostscript maintainer: It has turned out to not be a team effort after all - we have not been 3 persons working together on this the last year, but only me. I cannot continue to manage that burden.
So there you go: Consider for yourself, don't expect a blessing from me. Kind regards, and sorry for the silence, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
