Adopting esound and gdm off you for GNOME 2.6 preparations?
|

| Dear Ryan,
As you may already be aware already, GNOME 2.6 is nearing release very
soon now and we'd like to every package in Debian unstable to be in line
with what shall be released as part of the new GNOME.
One packages that you maintain, esound (0.2.29-1) has fallen behind.
Without intending any disrepect to you, the Debian GNOME Maintainers
would very much like to update it or even adopt it off you. Does time
cuurently permit you to begin work on GDM 2.6 packages or would you
rather consent to us to work on preliminary packages in the meantime?
Any updates to those packages will only be uploaded into experimental
until such time as GNOME 2.6.0 is officially finalised and released.
This will hopefully give you enough time to reivew them and provide
feedback before they are finally moved into unstable.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Lau

Maintainer != Developer.
he would lie if we would write Developer there, but he _is_ a
Maintainere since he maintains much packages.

I don't think that there is any consistent terminology in wide use
that takes maintenance of sponsored packages into account. For
example, the process whereby new voting members of the project are
recruited is known as the "New *Maintainer* process"...

I know that. I am an AM myself..
But accusing Andrew because he writes "Maintainer" in his sig is just
plain *wrong*, whereas larting him when the would have written
"Developer" would have been right.

Hello,
I'd like to ask kindly what is the current state of esound, after above
request to Ryan?
I have recently upgraded to debian packaged gnome 2.6 from
testing/unstable. Before that, I ran a self compiled garnome
installation. One of the few problems I encountered was that esound
didn't run very well with my ALSA installation (1.0.5 from kernel 2.6).
This page
(http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?p...ty+HOW
TO)
reminded me, that esound needs to be newer than 0.2.32 to do what i
wanted...
A compilation of the current tar ball from Gnomes source ftp server,
fixed my problem. But of course I would like to see esound in debian in
a recent version as well.
Any news?
With kind regards,
* André Schaefer
