Far be it from me to tell you how to spend your free time. If you want to start a project for distributing non-free packages that work with Debian, I heartily support you in that venture, and I think the Debian project should even help you get it off the ground. I wish you well. Me> So, to the DDs who have stuff in non-free: bummer, man.

There appear to be a number of current Debian maintainers who think it's important. I'm sure with such a good core group who care about providing non-free software to those users, they will be well-served. I mean, the non-free project maintainers will have some of the best Free Software around to make, distribute, and track those packages. I think it's going to be a fine, fine project. ~ESP P.S. I nudged this thread over to -project in the (perhaps vain) hope to see it transition to where it's more on-topic. - -- Evan Prodromou [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAVnEnozwefHAKBVERAsR9AKCbFA10YgovyYF3AxLHkRum/RbwvwCeMURT P9g+axceKHFKhDK234V8RiU= =hNdI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
