While cleaning up the ITPs/RFPs I asked many packagers about the status of their package and got quite often a "package is more or less ready, but I'm waiting of DAM-approval because I don't want the hassle of another sponsored package", or, what's worse a "package was ok some time ago, but as Debian doesn't want me I stopped fixing it". Sad. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
