In this mail I actually stated that (1) it would be _possible_ for me to do in Xenomai exactly _what I would change in Debian anyway_. and (2) that I want to prevent duplicated work. So if I consider stuff in Debian as working, I can't put much more effort into Xenomai's debian/, to do different stuff you propose. Sorry - merely time restrictions - please don't take it personal. > I am not trying to blame you, I am trying to get a clear answer. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ OK, under those circumstances of slightly diverging (i.e. minor but conflicting in terms of project management) goals[1] I propose you commit Xenomai's debian/* changes yourself without the need to wait for my comment. In turn, I'm maintaining Debian's debian/* and synchronize as much as possible (in the interest of both projects and their users). However, there will be occasions where Xenomai's and Debian's debian/* will need to diverge, which is fine, e.g. in case of Debian forces me to freeze Debian, but apply security fixes etc., and Xenomai in turn wants to support stuff that Debian can't always synchronize with. Peace, Roland [1] Debian: freezing for releases, supporting Debian released versions of Xenomai. Xenomai: Following up to date environments of different Debian-like OSes, and commonly releasing more often.
