Bug#726209: closed by beuc at debian.org (Re: ballz: missing icon entry in menu file Jessie Release Goal)

[beuc at debian.org]

Hi,

I salvaged upstream from google code, converted svn to git, refreshed
the autotools, integrated appstream contribution from Fedora,
coordinated with usptream, made a new release, extensively tested, and
packaged.

You only complained, and now you're trying to provoke me by
questioning my usefulness.

I don't wish to complexify the packaging and add dependencies such as
imagemagick for an old menu system.  I don't see why this is such a
big issue for you.

To be fair, I give you 1 day to find the "1 minute" you estimated for
applying, testing and uploading your patch.  Passed this delay, I'll
close the bug.

Regards,
Sylvain
