Hello Chris!

lol, apologies not accepted :p
The new queue is nearly empty, so thanks to all of you ftpmasters!

yeah, I might have written something like
"a lot of useful conversations" :)

this is a valid point, thanks

nice reading, thanks for sharing it!

As said, a lot of times I have to read #-ftp #-buildd #-logs and maybe #-devel-changes
(or whatever is called).

e.g. bugs on #-devel-changes are useful to have a track of new bugs, new unblock requests
(during freeze times), or just to know which packages have interest in the community.

#-ftp is a nice place to know how dak is happy (and yeah, probably such logs are useful in
a context of some hours after somebody wrote that stuff)
same for #-buildd, to know chroot issues, or toolchain related sadness (e.g. all the recent
binutils failures on mips/powerpc)

#-release... well it is our main goal to release, so reading conversations there is a must for us :p

(also, I can know how fast I have to fix RC bugs, or see opinions by our RT team on various
topics).

thanks

Gianfranco
