Hmm. In my experience in Houston, the singular was y'all and the
plural was y'alls. Could this be region-specific? O

Not if you can corner a piece of that majority, poll it, and extrapolate
the poll results.

SCO's
bankruptcy announcement.
If you're still worried, I suggest that you get a Linux license
from SCO. You can get one for free at

Oh, good. I was afraid that one of my favourite words had been
hijacked by some political movement :)

reinforce the idea that beings who are strange or
ugly are automatically evil and hostile. This doesn't bother me,
though. A game can present ideas but it can't force them on people.[2]
Like a wise man said[3], if the games we played when we were kids
affected us, we'd now be running
ot; (as written in the Debian Free
> Software Guidelines), and that's not the duty of an operating sytem.
The DFSG is not meant to apply at this level. The DFSG lists freedoms
that we want our users to have. We don't necessarily want to use these
freedoms ourselves. For example, we have the freedom to fork the
development of our packages, but we try to avoid doing that.

Heh, if we were going to reject packages with xenophobic ideas, we'd
lose most of the games. xgalaga, anyone?

others.
I have no idea what they mean with this. Any meaning I can think of
is already covered by one of the other articles. What kind of "force
their policies" is deprecated here? If I say, "I will only work for
organizations that endorse free software&q
gs fixed, and doing it faster will
not help their score. A hasty NMU will just increase the chance of
the bug being reopened (or otherwise contested), which is bad for their
score.
(Hmm, I wonder if they system should treat delayed NMUs the same way
it treats pending tags, to avoid hasty uploads on the 31st.)

Note that for a long time I had a similar problem, until I went "duh"
and realized that the address I subscribed with is not the address
I send mail from. Adding the right address to the unsubscribe line
and funging the From header did the trick.

f an acknowledgement than a decision. I haven't
done any of the work for those tasks in quite some time, and by
now I'm out of touch with the procedures. I've also developed
a distaste for project-wide tasks. I'm going to quietly maintain
a few packages from now on.

In such cases the sponsor is still fully responsible for the package,
and from the project's point of view is the one accountable for it.

Definitely utils.

Perhaps leave these in "base" too.
Richard Braakman
taking 'base' out of 'known_sections' should be sufficient.

I'd love to get rid of it; it would save work for the FTP admins.
