I am in a similar situation with the MCA Debian 1.2 rescue floppies. There is really no point in maintaining these as a package since the new 2.1 kernels are including support and most likely the next Debian won't need them. All I want is to upload them somewhere on the Debian site where people that want them can get them. This won't get done in the near future if the only way for me to do it is to go through the whole process of becoming a Debian developer and then orphaning the MCA rescue disks -- I can't spare the time. There should be a simple way for people to make available halfway complete or "one shot" debian packages. (You can make developer status necessary to get into the normal distribution directories if you are worried about nobody wanting to sign on and just accumulating tons of peicemeal packages, but the quick-and-dirty area should exist) P.S. You could also use a note to consult the FAQ about being a developer in the Incoming directory's README, and an ssh.README in the net directory. -- Brian S.
