I wish this were true, but the official information is that the problems of supporting many obscure architectures is EXACTLY what is holding up woody. See, for example, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2002/debian-devel-announce-200205/msg00012.html as well as the original May 1 non-announcement. Also, the XFree86 packager has stated many times that the reason 4.2 has not been relased is that he is spending time getting 4.1 working on obscure architectures. Other maintainers (e.g. OpenLDAP) are not updating core packages, even in unstable, until woody is released, because they consider unstable to be only a staging ground for woody, rather than a bleeding-edge distribution in its own right. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
