Hello everyone,
The testers are starting to think about how to organized the 2.0
testing effort. One idea that the testers seemed to like is to create a
checklist for checking each package. Before we just checked to see if the
packages installed and if the entire system seemed to work
I'm taking over maintaining the linux-gazette packages from Christian
Schwarz, and I would prefer to just have /usr/doc/lg/copyright, rather than
having one in each /usr/doc/lg-issueXX directory. There will not be anything
else in /usr/doc/lg-issueXX as the issues are installed in /usr/doc/lg.

I'm _seriously_ offended by this. The idea that the bible (or quake) has
more redeeming features than purity is ridiculous.
You're being sarcastic, right?

It occurs to me that one avenue for a safe upgrade to hamm might be
a jumbo-package.
This would basically be a hand crafted .deb that contained (and
provides) all the relevant sensitive packages.
The downside is that this approach is laborious to implement. The
upside is that this
