Since Debian 2.0 is meant to be a libc6 system, the answer is yes. Of
course, if the libraries that the program depends on are

My ideas on boot-floppies' future:
- rewrite dinstall in C - reasons:
- runtime improvements
- don't run fdisk -l that often
- todo: make a libsfdisk from sfdisk

The info in the new Packages file lists libpcap0 as being in net and
libpcap-dev as being in devel, which is fine, but a dpkg --info on the
libpcap0 file itself reports its section as "libs", which doesn't exist in
rex. Is this a prob

will implement my original proposal tomorrow unless I hear otherwise.

Yes, Sue and I decided that there was no need to have a copy of the
web pages on the ftp site also.
btw, some mirrors are mirroring from /home/Debian/ftp instead of
/home/Archives/ftp
I think one thing we need to seriously work on for Debian 2.0, is our
reputation. It seems we have a reputation for being hard to install,
even though, IMO, 1.3 was very easy to install.
Just look at this c.o.l.a announcment from tri-linux

Back in March, Siggy had indicated that he would be taking over
PostgreSQL development (the Postgres95 package currently in Debian is
now very out-of-date). I e-mailed him about this and got no response.
So...is anybody out there planning to take over PostgreSQL? If not, I
can take a look at it.
Hello,
Some time ago, I handed mgetty over to Siggy Brentrup. However, I
have not yet seen any mgetty uploaded by him and have not received any
response to my e-mails.
So...would somebody be willing to take over mgetty? Right now, it
doesn't have any maintainer...

Hi,
Has anyone written down more complete documentation that what is provided
