I didn't say r.d.n should start as official service immediately, I said one should give interested people the possibility to provide a reliable service to prove their idea works. This is a bit different than backports.d.o, which is a pure optional service extension to traditional repositories. If there is a backport for a certain package good, if not: no problem neither from a conceptual perspective. However for a rolling distribution one would not provide some packages in addition to those regularly available through repositories, but provide official maintainer uploads from unstable after a while /and support them/. At least the latter calls the original maintainer to account again, even outside of freeze periods and perhaps in a more timely manner as Sid requires this by people by now. Don't get me wrong, I don't claim this wouldn't be case by now already and many maintainers do a great job anyway. My point is that Raphaels approach needs itself a certain service level in order to provide the same service level to rolling users itself. This is, in turn what you call from him in order to accept a potential rolling branch. How should he though, if people are not willing to help at least passively which gives him a chance to provide a good service? > >> I agree.

I apologize for my words which have been a bit more rude than necessary. I think I outlined above what I mean. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNvC7AAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtrFMQAJrs0lk2w2QKjn41t/s0usKb +Y0+8Xt6CBzEv9gRCKJdK5aKadxDHuDAny9on87sLdQLb6AiHii6/IoDz6PFjH81 PJyGS5U16iEGKPat3x9D6D8cqCjn7J3pBLs5BNEyoLD3Xp9UKKL5OX+4Vv6fub/T x1SHra+dgg1uuAo+d1I7s5BG0HFOP34mVw7OxPb39C++ZjC/eYrS10ahBKh/YAtS WttklqSgPQ1oI0/kuUo0zZrbHHwnH1E/q6QDqakqmt7FLkpoxAVHP2kLmExrXGh3 1HiKAzEwz57WQUrexY6ImKPLkawnQEa7Z5mRmem5F/EevqBtNb0gGZ1ZtVkpKZal 4peMcnoBKYzMcmi3c8rO5aeDxxiMg9lXgXPdKVg/NQd+TbVPkNKfZamcyHPbxCFR z40HNOk4ZoOASmPIxob0bdWr+vZIGa8/wWsYOycJoIXx+jthHXqlHFk5Uxm38vRV 0iK94gH8D14VKD2hrlsKum5H1eG7TRKvotOLpLjyJ/eWlS9xkdka6nrEdf2glfwB JwgoEsrg7Mq45dPWnKamIx8qd+HoSQ3gUurbGv1AqDfWK9vuj/QGHnkAmrXZ6uwr Iiycg9CibBX9L0Sj/dlo6p/OxHsP8F/0E/jimFkq0FIbx6Q1qTyNNThrEa0fO0Uv 8TPGx62dtdNZAgn8rmaY =9e4q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
