Not sure who you mean should be more tolerant. I find it important to use _one_ issue tracker and that is debbugs. I am not tolerant about using other issuer trackers instead. I don't mind about using other issue trackers _also_ if it is pure _duplication, but the concern raised when I disabled the salsa tracker for ffmpeg is an indication that data is _not_ duplicated: I am _not_ tolerant about accumulating data _outside_ of general Debian issue tracker. That, and the lack of comments from others in the team, but comments in the very salsa issue tracker that I do not tolerate having data not duplicated in "proper" Debian, are the reasons I chose to leave the team. > > Don't worry - I am still in Debian and continue to collaborate > > there, with any and all of you interested in that.

I am sure I am welcome _now_ even. Point is, I am not being kicked out, I am leaving on my own. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
