Ahhh ... warm, friendly, helpful.

It wasn't clear what he was asking and considering the proposal was entered four times and he initially replied to me directly rather than the mailing list, plus his reply didn't answer my question as to what happened, it seemed he might be overlooking the obvious.

Ok, fair enough :) It just didn't sound very friendly, that's all. Especially w/o any knowledge of off-list communication. Markus was probably frustrated by the error too -- & it's not obvious who he should write to for help.

I think the bigger issue...

You're right about your points. I already intended to look into them when I get a moment.

Cool -- and I wasn't implying that it's your job to fix them. Of course it's not really anyone's *job* -- which I guess is part of the problem. I've just noticed that the constraint violations have come up a few times on the lists.

Though, it'd be nice if Markus was helpful enough to indicate what he actually did to get those multiple entries and at exactly what he was when the constraint violation happened so these matters can be specifically addressed.

Yup, fair enough. Markus, you need to provide more helpful error reports so that people can help you get your package propsal up there. Also note that you can edit the package once it is proposed, so you don't need to keep creating new ones. Hans
