Indeed. I'm interested in Musical Theatre, Commercial Aviation and R&B
Music. How about you?

You *totally* missed my point.

The reason Getdeb *exists* is because there are developers who have your
attitude about software updates.

Personally, I won't use it. If I'm desperate enough (I'm not at this
point) I'll find a "third party" apt repo to update with. They tend to
be somewhat less likely to "Break my Ubuntu".

It's not been uploaded yet, hence my request for a sync that's seemingly
been killed. Do I request it again or will that be marked a "duplicate"?

Of course your definition of "serious" might be different than another
developer's.


Perhaps you should respond to this email:

You could say something like "And we should care because???"
