[Mageia-dev] proftpd - why was mdv package imported over ours nuking our changes???

Mon Jan 14 06:48:01 CET 2013

Hi,
+
+My mistake too, when Alfonso told me he was going to use the mdv's spec I
+didn't explicitly told him to merge back any change on mga spec (maybe for
+me this was something implicit to be done but now I see it isn't for
+everybody), and just checked his work on the update which was ok.
+
+I'll be more careful in the future when reviewing my apprentice's work, I'm
+sorry for the trouble caused by me and Alfonso.
+
+Cheers,
+
