I don't remember if you are involved in the Python team, but I can tell you that the low-level of "teamship" that is there is only annoying, and this part of the policy goes straight against collaboration. > Any member of the team should be able to fix and upload any team package in > general. That helps spread the load and keeps the packages fresh. That's exactly how it works already in the science team from what I could see over the years. What the science team is lacking is active contributors, there are no rules that are blocking people from fixing and uploads stuff. I like the science team because I always felt fine uploading random changes in the past when I needed them, in the python team I always need to ponder "will the main uploader be bothered about my chnages" every time. > But reasonable also to have a stronger oversight model (the weak > collaboration case) if a particular package is more tricky and needs more > care. IME, this is just an overstatement. I very very rarely saw team members overstep common sense. If a package is tricky a proper DD should be able to tell so and ask for opinions, and that happens every so often. We are already fine here. Let's not overcomplicate matters. Timo: go ahead and fix the packages. Just, IMHO please do not add allow-stderr, instead patch CMakeList to require an higher version (and forward the patch upstream if possible). I always felt that too many packages already have allow-stderr where instead erroring out on stderr is a very fine way to catch future regressions *exactly* like this one. Looking at the src:cmake page I see there are not too many affected packages, so it should be fine? -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
