I guess I was not yet clear about listing not yet uploaded packages and so I'd like to work with an example. If you look at http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio#pkgvcs-debs you se a lot of entries which are also created by simply add Depends: acacia, mmos-assembler, apollo, ... to the bio task of Debian Med. These entries will end up as Suggests: acacia, mmos-assembler, apollo, ... in med-bio package which remains perfectly installable and valid despite the packages are not in Debian. However, visitors of the web sentinel page get a clear image what we are working on. > They > will be tailored for certain programming languages and recommend or > suggest different content packages with game data and they will also > include some hints what kind of help is needed.

(I'm usually not on IRC.) Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
