[Pkg-julia-devel] I'm planning to RM src:julia . Can't bear anymore.

[M. Zhou]

Hi Norbert,

It's good to see you around, and thanks for the comment!
Let's see how the other people think.

Basically at this point I think Debian's strict policy
feels like a double-blade sword. It is good as long as we
want to make elegant offline builds and ensure reproducibility.
It is increasing work when the upstream goes in the opposite
direction, while Debian is seemingly the only distribution
that has restrictions on network access during the build.

Best wishes!
