IMHO yes. Until you think they are decent. Yes this is a development tree. But that doesn't mean we should be uploading broken packages... Though if a project is in process and it's made clear of that in the changelog then I guess that's okay. But the problem (especially with contribs) of uploading broken packages is that the fact the package is broken gets forgetten and ends up getting released with the final version. Then people think Mandrake sucks because they released broken stuff. We'd be better off not to have something than having something that's broken. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "If you're not making any mistakes, you're flat out not trying hard enough." - Jim Nichols
