Only maintainer can promote package from Extras-devel to Extras. But maintainer of rootsh is off and nobody can fix this problem.

So in Extras is buggy SW, but fixed in Extras-Devel. I'm sure that there are more buggy packages (which are fixed in devel), but nobody has permission to promote it.

This problem with rootsh SHOULD be fixed ASAP - not in next year (as kernel-power). SD69, what can you do as memeber of Community Council? I'm suggesting (again) that Nokia (or X-Fade?) should add repository permission to Community and NOT only to maintainers of package.
Now I got maintainer permission (from somebody?) and I promoted fixed version 1.8 to Extras-Testing: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...el/rootsh/1.8/
