- there is a package maintainer defined, and you gave him a measly 74 minutes to respond.

Sorry, I didn't realize that, the webui does not show this information to me while accepting the request and I didn't remember it off hand (while I read commits in that project, the last commit was a quarter ago and I simply didn't match the information).

- the patch has no description or author info whatsoever http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines#Type_2:_Complet... There is practically no information as to what it fixes, or why, other than what could be guessed from the filename or the project it came from.

It is a build fix for aarch64, as you might have guesst already. Given that you're the maintainer, could you work with Andreas on upstreaming the patch? This fix(or a similar one) is needed anyway, be it with opensuse policy correctness or not :-)

Robert Schweikert once proposed/brought up [http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-10/msg00282.html ] that we have too many maintainers on particular levels. Implicit inheritance of users is also an issue unresolved to date.

I'm just maintaining it on a project level, ensuring that stuck requests are being handled. as I went through the pending submitrequests (which I do rarely once a week, if at all), I just picked this one as well as it looked obvious to me. I see you already reverted the change, I've revoked the submitrequest to factory and now I would like to ask you to work with Andreas on getting the fix upstream. Thanks a lot in advance, Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
