Re: [ANNOUNCE] Updated Packages Released.

Strictly speaking, it's your job to anticipate this kind of problem; the rest of us will help if we can, but realistically our primary attention is not going to be on packages. You guys have been doing a good job[1], we're not going to wrack our brains to project problems. :-/ Ville> with packages earlier in the process, preferably before Ville> they're released. </rant> R> i will second your rant R> please people we are new at this and if we do something that R> you dont like please tell us and we can discuss it Well, in the future, consider bug reports like the ones from Pre-Release testers whose cperl-mode, etc, stopped working a sign that you should slow down on the release. _Any_ problem related to upgrade or installation is a red flag. Backwards compatibility is extremely hard to achieve, and harder to plan in advance, for things like this. I just assumed that you would take some corrective action before releasing the split packages. When you didn't, well, as you say you're new at it, so all I could do was to suggest watching c.e.x.
