	Hey,
I didn't have much time to do so. You script stepped in only two hours
after release on Gnome's ftp. It's not so bad, but still early and
unexpected for me.

Maybe he's just _currently_ busy, sleeping (consider different
timezones) and so on? Anyway, I never asked to have those packages part
of the auto-build list, and never was asked for acceptance. This is
easily distinguishable, isn't it?

I cannot answer this objectively now, I'm sorry. There is certainly
nothing extra special about those packages, apart of your auto-build
script not being able to build those packages correctly (which it cannot
do in general anyway), but I currently have bad feelings about this
process, so, well, let me think about it.
	Bye,
	Milan
