Markos,

Provided trivial debug/fix on bug. I'm an ex-dev so I know the
workload - but I'd love to see QA be looking to make these minor
fixes, rather than simply mask/remove?

Cheers,
malc.

I 've seen the bug. I will take care of it Since you are an ex-dev you are
aware of our policy on maintainer-needed bugs. We simply dont have the free
time to take care of their bugs :/
Thanks for stepping up and help me with this

I really appreciate it

Why make the fixes when we can announce package-death on -dev and get
the fixes for free from concerned users?
