Well, as I said (am I repeating myself?).
Before DIF I focuse on DaD. There I see new upstream versions which is
my primary focus.
As they get less I also merge normal stuff. After DIF , as I said, check
Debian incoming and yes
here is my focus on new upstream versions. Well at least I take
everything which looks interesting (I don't touch java stuff, grrr).
But as debian incomming is also very limitated I usually also take
"normal" new debian versions.
My motto: New day, new versions, new luck.

As everybody (maybe also you at the beginning) I feel/felt a little bit
frustrated when somebody says me
about my work: this is wrong, and this and this ... (Also at my
beginning this pretty often around me)
Especially when you look at the REVU package page where I had to review
this package Harald left
a bunch of comments and at the first look you say "wow, all this I made
wrong" ..
But as he also wrote in his last mail:

"I have the
feeling he is aware that there are still areas of knowledge he has to work on,
but he seems to be very willing to do so."



This is the truth, of course it's easier when the person says his skills
are still good enough for MOTU ;-)
but in this special case it's just great how many things I learned from
his comments. Also sometimes my merges
weren't perfect and of course I thought "damn" but everybody knows:
Everybody makes mistakes and we learn from
them and this isn't different in my case.
