you cannot shield yourself with NMU rules, be shown that you didnt fully follow the same rules you mentioned and come up with "I mean no offence"; in particular because you also followed it up with relteam to get mpl unblocked, where you are supposed to get an approval before the upload (and you cannot even imagine how frustrated I am that mpl wont make it into Jessie, for just 1 day, because I tried to do things by the book) -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
