Re: package inconsistencies

Ehmm... I was actually talking about packages from August 15th not yet
in the repos. I thought you developed requiredbuilder? Do you think
the errors come from there or the hand-added dependencies from the
maintainer?
I _do_ think these errors (the ones with misspelled dependencies) are
a maintainer issue. The thing about moving packages from FIFO to repo
is repo-maintainer issue. If I am not wrong Axxium has that job?
Axxium, do you think we might get a second person to assist you in
that possition? I am not in a position to do anything, I can just
suggest....
