Sorry, I didn't see the serious breakage, nor any complaint from
other core projects maintainers that this may have been broken [1].
In both cases this was about python modules which may not have build in
some circumstances. No core project relies on those modules. I don't see
either how this would have hampered the progresses of other modules. No
really ...
This wording was there to allow really broken commits to get
reverted/fixed in case they were seriously blocking other projects.
So I have 2 choices:
1/ forget about it hoping that you will send mail first in the future
in case the build break under some circumstances.
2/ disallow commits from non-maintainers (4 persons in gnome-xml,
3 persons in libxslt)
I will do 1/ ,
Daniel
[1] actually James sent me a patch to apply to that part, I just didn't had
the time to look at it.
P.S.: You know, I suck. Too bad, live with it, you know I want a mail before
commits, it's not the first time, I hope it's the last.
