Only .changes files are readable in NEW/
I wonder why only the .changes files are readable in the NEW queue. Is there a reason for this? Christophe -- Christophe Barbé [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FingerPrint: E0F6 FADF 2A5C F072 6AF8 F67A 8F45 2F1E D72C B41E There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast.

En réponse à christophe barbe [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wonder why only the .changes files are readable in the NEW queue. Is there a reason for this? Yes, it is normal. The reason is crypto-in-main: they have to be checked by ftp-masters first. -- Jérôme Marant

Can someone explain?

After that, it's let go in and go to ACCEPTED and after dinstall into the archive or rejected. -- Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgprJyprF5rBS.pgp Description: PGP signature

When I read http://www.debian.org/legal/cryptoinmain correct, all Software that contains cryptographic functionality must be registered before it can legally be distributed. So the ftp-master must check if a new package contains cryptographic functionality and if it is already registered. hth, Frank -- *** Frank Lichtenheld [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** http://www.djpig.de/ *** see also: - http://www.usta.de/ - http://fachschaft.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/

Just to clarify for people, this is for strong cryptographic export outside of the US from within the US. Registration isn't required for distribution inside the US. Obviously Debian has to deal with this issue and I think the current way works fine but I'd rather not have people thinking that to distribute crypto in the US they need to register it.

Considering the legislators' feeling for these matters, I'm surprised nobody's been able to convince these people to allow registration to happen in write only memory.
