Debian ia about variety, but Debian also has an increasingly big problem with its mirror size. I think it's good to offer choice, but the choice should only be between good software and good software. But as I said: if you think that htp should be in Debian for at least one other reason in addition to you needing it, then please go ahead. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
