Ok, I haven't looked at our policies for shared libs for a while, and I

Hi,
Due to lack of time on my part, but more importantly due to a
discontinuation of upstream development, I'm orphaning my packages 'wterm' and
'wterm-ml'.
If anyone wants to take over this package, please let me know.
Regards, happy new year, etc..

Don't assume devfs! A lot of us uses it, but before our standard
kernel uses it our lilo package shouldn't assume it unless it is very

Hi,
there is a bug in the mc package, that most likely is related to
devfs. I can't reproduce it, nor does it seem to be common.

mc hangs occasionally on starup on the VC.
There is a patch on the buttom of the report.
