For slink, I plan to provide the texi2html-converted HTML for all my GNU packages, which means a new package foo-doc for every GNU foo package. Do I absolutely have to do this before the freeze? Will all my foo-doc packages be rejected because "no new packages"? -- "35068fe90da2260a88a96e33ee9316af" (a truly random sig)

Brian, could you please state what your plans in this regard are? The general guideline for "frozen" is: no new code A recompile with a new package is fine. Fixes to make something work with a change in another package is also fine. Please refrain from making changes to ncurses, though, once the freeze begins. It's unfair to ask people to continually recompile because of this. Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- Touch passion when it comes your way.
