I know I've been at it for a while now I did email lenny. A few days ago. I snipped out the rest above maybe I was not clear they now have new maintainers but I did the original ones that made it into mandrake about 2 years ago and ahve contributed patches and updates along the way on top of what the "maintainers" have done. Thats my point no mention of it anywere. > > Why? > > I think you are taking the wrong approach.

When and if it makes it into mandrake thats good and fine but at least others will be able to get them. One more thing I'm working on some nice docs for working with some of the packages I'm dealing with i was thinking about giving them to the club for use there. Yes? No?
