Packages are added largely at the whim of developers; packages are removed when no developer is interested in supporting them or when they're considered too buggy to release. debian-devel is the place to look (and search the archives first). What is released with a distribution is up to the release manager, and is generally determined by removing packages with unfixed release-critical bugs (where release-critical is Severity: important or higher). >I wonder why nisplus is not provided by Debian's... Probably because no-one has so far been interested in packaging it, or adding it to an existing package. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
