The only thing I want is some time to review the packages before I sent them to the arch teams. And as I said before, it would have been better if I would have dropped a short comment on the bugs telling that they are in progress. The recent "go aheads" were simply that I found time to review the one or other bug. So lets agree that your proceeding is worth the effort, but extend the time you give the maintainer to iron their packages. justin --------------enig65198FF09FA2F61C9A4C35E6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEAREKAAYFAk7rUbIACgkQgAnW8HDreRYhqwCgrwP2r36rNtX6NRiuIaXOhXOx PX8AnjCOiD3yNEYjC91eVGUbJdoGtAoV =gPeW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig65198FF09FA2F61C9A4C35E6--
