18 Ok, I could understand that none of the mips team are online when I
19 want, but how about the bug mentioned above? One month I
20 waited/begged/threat!!! For what? For some lousy script updates, which
21 is not arch dependent anyway!

37 Not every package that I maintain is tested by me! How can I test a dsl
38 driver when I have no such device!
39 I apply the good old rule that if a package has no open bugs for a
40 month, it will be marked as stable.
41
42 If I would do things you way, in this moment net-dialup would have at
43 least 100 opened bugs with no one carrying about them. I urge you to
44 look in bugzilla to see how many rightfully complaints are there
45 regarding my work. Not as if I consider less about a dev who made a
46 mistake (only who do nothing, does no mistakes)...
47
48 It is OK to want to make more than a simple compile test, but from this
49 to doing nothing when a fellow dev ask you to IS a big distance! A
50 convenient excuse, nothing more...
51
52 I didn't wanted to get so involved in this bug, but invalid bug reports
53 started by the transition from -r2 are killing me. In rest, what do I
54 care that your arch is outdated!
