[Mageia-dev] proftpd - why was mdv package imported over ours nuking our changes???

[Bersuit Vera]

Hi all

Excuse my mentor, Juancho alert me, but trust too much on me
Maybe I trust too much in other distros
I would like to work with you to learn more about the packaging of servers
(systemctl etc...)
I ask thousand excuses again.

Saludos.

Bersuit
