Right, but the idea was supposed to be that we DO NOT PUBLISH the fault until after you guys (the distros) actually have a package. So, this is ENTIRELY ON PURPOSE.

I am unaware of it being unreachable for more than a Sunday afternoon to Monday morning; and that instability with power was solved. >> before I propose some solution/policy/adjustment, I want to make sure >> that I've heard all the issues. > I don't follow, you don't like the idea to use GitHub then why we > encourage people to use it as tool for contributing to the project. github has lots of nice features. Maybe we should only use github --- certainly when I first proposed github, many people were uncertain about it --- it was too new, and we were too experienced with sourceforge coming and going to want to sign up for another disaster. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr () sandelman ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
