[For who does not know what I am talking about, it is about the website: http://www.debian-desktop.org:80/doku.php/ that points to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-desktop/ ] Hi Martin and all, I do not have any problem at all with you offering KDE packages. You are totally free to do so, and I am sure your work is highly appreciated for a lot of users. But I have problems with the whole debian-desktop official project thing. AFAIK, Debian desktop subproject is to work on the integration of the various desktop-related packages, bug reports, questions and patches *inside* Debian. You are providing packages named as the "official" ones of the "Official DebianDesktop project" and those packages should be the packages in the archive for any desktop. Debian-Desktop is about making better the desktop experience in Debian not having official packages outside the archive. To the list: What is debian-desktop subproject supposed to be currently? In any case a small request: could you put clearly in debian-desktop.org that your KDE packages are unofficial and not necesarily upgrade compatible with the archive ones? Again, I have not problems with you offering the packages, just with the whole "official" thing that is confusing... Thanks, Ana

Maybe my wording was wrong. I changed the wording to make clear that my site is not the official website.> > Debian-Desktop is about making better the desktop experience in Debian not > having official packages outside the archive. > > To the list: What is debian-desktop subproject supposed to be currently? > > In any case a small request: could you put clearly in debian-desktop.orgthat > your KDE packages are unofficial and not necesarily upgrade compatible with > the archive ones?Of course.

Thank you for letting me know about this misspelling. Thanks, Martin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
