What exactly _is_ the point? It's one git repository instead of five, but what (technical) problem would having five repos and five Debian source packages, instead of one, actually solve? IMHO: None at all. Instead it creates busy-work, and a testing headache because you can't depend on a definite version of $OTHER_BINARY any more. There are obviously social problems with merging systemd and udev into one repository, and with having systemd and logind (and/or a couple of other helpers) there. We're seeing them; it's one of the major complaints about systemd. But it's Upstream's decision to do that. Absent a reasonable technical argument, I can understand that Lennart&Co get extremely impatient with having to re-hash the same old non-argument for the umpteenth time, even if not everybody actually gives them flak about it. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
