Hi Jim, Dropping the lists here to get some more specifics. The fix we put in place took about ten days to hit. It shouldn't have been broken longer than that; we didn't close the bug immediately, because we wanted the dependency to fix their versioning. It's possible the workaround didn't actually correct the problem fully; it should have, but I only tested it briefly. (It was simply adding in a downstream dependency with a versioning restriction). Do you happen to remember when the problem was? I'd like to make sure I understand, since I agree completely; a fix taking weeks is not acceptable, and I am upset and embarrassed to learn one of my packages took that long. -- Harlan Lieberman-Berg ~hlieberman
