It is not, it has hardly changed at all. The fundamentals are still a mess by its very design. Also the build rules for the webmin package in debian were a mess too unfortunately (of course webmin didn't have its own install system to help out either). > As I am no coder, I cannot assess this by myself, so it would be nice, if you > could take a look on it and maybe get it back into the repository again. > > Must I somehow apply for this somewhere else ???? > > I would be very pleased, if it will be in the repository again, as IMO it is > one of the best applications I know. > > Thenak you very much for your attention! Webmin needs quite a bit of attension to manage as a package and most likely the people that could do it have no interest in using webmin at all, which makes for a problem. Most people maintain packages for stuff they care about. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
