Well, this is what the non-free removal proponent tell me i should do, is it not ? > man dpkg-scanpackages, it's really not that hard if it is about your > packages alone. Limited free webspace is quite abundant these days. A, yes, naturally. From my account on people.debian.org for example ? If the non-free removal is voted, i will probably ask upstream to distribute the source, would make more sense this way, and i guess they will do it. Still, it will be more work for me over the current status-quo, and you cannot deny it. And, i wonder how dpkg-scanpackages will allow me BTS support. > > Naturally, if tomorrow a fully working non-free.org would be setup, it > > would be fine also, altough i have some misgiving about the oportunity > > to maintain an officialized non-free.org not under the debian project's > > control. > > You seem to change your mind on that on a daily basis. No. If there is a full working replacement non-free.org archive available, then by all means let's move non-free to it, and forget about this whole vote. I still think that a non-free.org outside of debian's control is not a good thing in the long run, but we will see. And if it is under debian's control, how can you say that it doesn't waste debian ressources ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
