Fabian, who do you think you are to call d-m-o's packages as 'crappy'?
d-m-o is a traditional and very respected 3rd party repository for
Debian and has been for years.
I can't tell the same of you.
You know very well why it uses an epoch in their versioning: exactly
so as people that want/need to use the extra features/packages it
provides don't mix what shouldn't be mixed with the official Debian
packages.
I'm not sure if you're a Debian Maintainer or not (or worse, Debian
Developer) but this kind of big mouthing shouldn't be accepted from a
DM/DD.
If I find out the proper channel for this I'll raise this subject so
as the Debian contributors know that they should measure their words
otherwise they should step down (even a 'do-ocracy' has its limits).

Afaics Fabian is a DM doing work that deserves respect, such as maintaining
packages:

.. and explaining confusing situations like this one to people like James :).

I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly. Fabian did use some mildly
strong language, but if anything that was directed towards James and not
d-m-o, and in any case did not really seem that insulting. Indeed it doesn't
seem James took offense, so no harm done.


Kind regards,

Arnout
