Apparently, with regard to broken dependency notifications, there are three types of package maintainers:
(1) The I-do-not-care-and-give-a-s**t-about-the-reports type of maintainer, who ignores the reports and possibly filters the private mails into Trash.
(2) The blasphemy!-false-positives!-my-pkg-is-not-broken-wtf type of maintainer, who either flames me immediately after receiving the first report or after several weeks when the private mails still haven't stopped.
(3) The I-understand-the-problem-or-I-ask type of maintainer, who fixes a broken dependency silently, or who asks for help, and who is easy to deal with.
Obviously, I prefer type (3). There is no need to spend any time on sending acknowledgements about broken deps reports to me privately, especially not if the Rawhide report has found the same broken deps. But please think twice before having a whinge in a private reply and accusing me of false positives. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
I'd like to publicly, "on list", thank you for your efforts in keeping up with the reporting. It's extremely useful and much appreciated (though I get the feeling you don't hear that often if at all).
Many thanks, -AdamM
