You do not need to contact the ftpmasters in advance. Just upload both source packages as normal. For the existing source package, it should be processed automatically (with one less binary package than before). The new source package will be processed manually (you will receive a 'NEW' notification), and once this is done, it will provide a new ddrmat-source package. Remember to test upgrades from the old versions of the binary packages to the new versions, to ensure that the file lists match up (or, if you intentionally reorganize things, add the appropriate conflicts/replaces). -- - mdz
