Well there are always reasons for packages to been removed. I can only answer for webmin. I uploaded the 0.80-1 version and it was placed in main (it should be in non-US). But that is not the reason why it was removed because I just had to upload a new version and ask somebody to change the override file. The reason is that Jaldhar is about adopt them (he have a better packaging structure) and he is working on it. For more webmin status see some other threads on this list. :) To upload the new webmin packages the orginal webmin package had to be removed so thats why. I think webmin is about to be released soon, but he'll know better than I do. // Ola -- --------------------- Ola Lundqvist --------------------------- / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Björnkärrsgatan 5 A.11 \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 584 36 LINKÖPING | | +46 (0)13-17 69 83 +46 (0)70-332 1551 | | http://www.opal.dhs.org UIN/icq: 4912500 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / ---------------------------------------------------------------
