Which will happen with the move of amd64 into the debian archive - but that wont happen for sarge. In the meantime someone pointed me to http://nonfree.alioth.debian.org/ where someone already did the work to classify the non-free crap. Which means that one amd64 guy now needs to sit down, kicking out anything thats undistributable for us, and then let us include it. (As *one random* example, distributed-net is undistribtable for us, as we arent Debian). *I* wont do it, I have more important things to do. I will only help with the final import into our archive after someone did the work. -- bye Joerg (Irgendwo von heise.de): Jesus war ein typischer Student: - Lebte bis er 30 war bei den Eltern, - Hatte lange Haare - Wenn er mal was tat dann wars ein Wunder -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
