Request for sponsor: timer-q1 and socket-poll1
I'm in n the NM queue, and would like someone to sponsor my packages "timer-q1", "timer-q1--dev", "socket-poll1" and "socket-poll1-dev".

I think this is for the old dselect methods which simply put all *.deb files in one (or more) subdirs and called "dpkg -GROBiE .". When using apt as dselect method as current installations already default to, apt does the neccessary reordering. now i'm not really undestanding the point, is it telling me i'm going to have problems during upgrade? what does it mean "bulk run"?

rp-pppoe already in Debian!
Hi Justin! I've just seen your ITP of rp-pppoe. This is already in Debian. the package is called pppoe and packaged by Christian Hudon [EMAIL PROTECTED] But Christian seems to be MIA. I recently tried to contact him but he never answered. I asked him to update to newest upstream. I intended to apply as Debian-Developer and overtake (rp-)pppoe. I'm still willing to do just to keep this package up to date. But if you want to maintain it I do not need to. I packaged latest rp-pppoe (V2.8 released 2001-02-05) which closes all open bugs except one. You can take a look at http://iris.rz.uni-konstanz.de/~jfried/roe and use it if you like to. Please tell me if you're still interested in packaging rp-pppoe. If you do not answer within one week (until Sun 2001-02-17) I will apply as Debian-Developer and overtake rp-pppoe. -- Heute ist nicht alle Tage, ich komm' wieder, keine Frage!!!

New package [apt-sources]. Need assistance.
Dear Debian People, I have written a new package called apt-sources. Essentially, the purpose of this package is to generate a sources.list (/etc/apt) using the closest servers to the host it is being run on. It can either use a list of servers in a file (in URL format, ie. ftp:// or http://), or it will query debian.org and download an updated mirrors file, parse the HTML out and use that. The scoring program it uses is Netselect, however it is not a dependency. I have embedded the Netselect source code in the program, seeing as how I am only using it utilizing certain options, it seemed optimal that I would incorperate the source code and take out any extra code that may be slowing the program down. Future modifications will possibly be adding in BING support to test bandwidth, but as I am not totally fluent with the Netselect source code yet, it may take a little while to incorperate as well. I have never developed a package for Debian before, or Linux for that matter. I am, however, a very experienced programmer in Windows and DOS, so please don't consider me a rookie as far as that is concerned. :) I have looked up the requirements for becoming a Debian developer, and it seems very long and complicated. I know I require to get my GPG key signed, and have no idea who to get to sign it. I think I need a sponser, and also have no idea who to get for it. The author of APT seemed uninterested in this package, as did the author of Netselect, however most people that I explain the usage of the package too are right on. If you'd like the package source-code and feel like helping a newbie Debian developer out, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], I keep this e-mail strictly for mailing list e-mails, as it can get quite busy sometimes. The package is distributed under the BSD license. Thank you for reading this huge e-mail, I hope to get some support soon. - Danny Rodriguez -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
