He's specifically talking about the so-called "operating system
exception" in the GPL v2, and what the GPL v3 refers to
l RHEL 4 on such a machine?
By downloading pre-compiled kernel modules (usually from the hardware
vendor, or from another vendor that ships the same hardware).

There seems to be only a handful of dockapps that use ".app", though, so
if you see a package that says ".app", chances are that it's a GNUstep
program. And nearly all GNUs

NMUs for my packages are welcome for RC bugs, but please try to
coordinate with me first (I will still have some email access), since I
have a few packages that have already been sent to sponsors for

Ms decide on a freeze

Of course, depending on when the actual freeze occurs, and how quickly
NEW is processed (which seems to be going more quickly now), this point

and for policy:
These classifications are roughly equivalent to the bug severities
serious (for must or required directive violations), minor, normal or
important (for should or recommended directive violations) and
wishlist (for optional items). [2] However, this is not a direc

I also would prefer if the first mapping wasn't fuzzy. But it sounds to
me like the release team is reading it as being a fuzzy mapping
(AFAICT), in which case I would suggest making it more clear that the
mapping is fuzzy.

This could possibly be fixed by having programs fall back on a hardcoded
/tmp if $TMP is not writable. And/or by having init scripts clean up
their environment.
And of course I would consider silent failure to be a bug in CUPS.
