How can you say that !?! If i wanted to drive a bus over somebody's
toes, i would have done the same. You haven't forgot anything : the
commit, the tag, the release and the bugzilla.

Is Mariano part of the release-team ? No.
Has the release-team dared to email me to explain why they authorize
this ? No.
Has Mariano even explained what was the problem ? No.

I am not stupid and 2.17.93 worked when i released it. When Matthias
pinged me, i responded within a minute : we fixed the problem and i
rolled a tarball.

About Mariano's changes : all i see is: 
- a generated file removal
- a POTFILES.skip update
- a 3 line update to a XML file that is unrelated to the omf issue.

Yes, Mariano fixed a __warning__ "db2omf: Missing abstract element with
role description". I don't see how this was critical. The problem was
that omf files were not installed and it was fixed in 2.17.93. There was
no need to do a release for a warning fix.

Is Mariano the new system-monitor maintainer ? Because it seems that you
granted him full-power over system-monitor svn, releases and bugzilla.
So tell me.
Do whatever you want with the .94 tarball and svn, i disapprove that
release.

And I'm just a noob ? I though that i had earned some respect and
consideration. I was wrong.

There is one thing i've learnt from GNOME : team work. You know when
people work together, get mutual approval, exchange emails to keep
everyone informed. No you don't.


Thanks for the backstab.
