• Re: Future of Norbert's packages in Debian

    Hi Luc,

    the DAMs decision is extremly frustrating for Debian KDE users and given the short statement on debian-user

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/01/msg00807.html

    it is at least not clear to me if they seriously searched for a solution which would have served better all involved parties and the Debian (KDE) users. This message even increases the doubt, that searching for such a solution was a priority for them

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2019/01/msg00186.html

    I used the ... which the DAMs created in Debian KDE as opportunity and installed on a new desktop Manjaro stable instead of Debian to experiment with it (I still have Debian bullseye desktops in use). As a Debian stable user I considered manjaro more appropriate than Arch.

    Kmail 5.19.0/21.12.0 in manjaro stable was a pleasant surprise. Even though it is newer than Kmail in Debian unstable, the manjaro stable upgrade to 21.12.1 is downloaded while I am writting. I am curious to see how this experiment
    goes in the next months in particular the updates. The good thing for Open Source users is that we have choice if things go into the wrong direction somewhere :-)

    For me key is that we loose a very valuable contributor and great contribution! Reasons for this are unclear to me. Why this demotion, are those who decide on this stating and communicating their reasons, better is this a group decision?

    Full ACK.

    +1. And also not with Marco, as far as I remember. Which comes with little relevance, as we did not have much contact before.

    Let's always keep discussions civil and in good faith...

    Well, but jftr, let's not forget who started this thread and in which way. At
    the very least, citing the source of ones comments is quite basic IMNSHO.

    Kindest regards,

    Dietz
