I see it now.

There is something wrong somewhere: I do not receive olpc-devel@ mails 
currently...

Cannot parse that. All are for 0.82 or what?

Isn't it documented properly somewhere?


Anyway, I gave up waiting for your response and posted 0.25-2 a moment 
ago (right before I received this email).

I see no need for adding an epoch. I'd say we request 0.25-2 unblocked 
for Lenny. Works fine for me (except for localization that I've filed 
a bugreport about a moment ago).

Because of recent changes to sugar-toolkit, affecting Sugar activity 
installations.

Did you compile the package in an up-to-date sid chroot?

In what path was the activity installed?

Did the package include locale files?

I notice now that indeed you posted a warning.  Problem was (and still 
is) that I received no emails (only) sent til olpc-devel@ since nov 29.

I fail to understand your argument.


>b.) it's called unstable for a reason.

"Unstable" refers to the distribution, not the package. Unstable 
packages should only be uploaded to experimental, if at all!


>c.) i'd be happy to take over, but I'm refraining now as I assume you

Great that you start becoming active now.

No. You do *not* simply take over the work done for a year without your 
active participation.

You are very welcome to work together with Luke and me (and any others 
chiming in) using on the existing packages, using the current Git+CDBS 
packaging style.

You are also very welcome to package additional activity packages using 
current Git+CDBS packaging style.

You can also package additional activities using whatever alternative 
packaging style you prefer yourself. I won't recommend that, but if you 
really must (use another packaging style), I won't (and can't) stop you.

How does 0.23-1 FTBFS?

Does 0.25-2 FTBFS too?
