Welcome to the nem Hamm Bugs Stamp-Out List.
Since Richard Braakman is currently on vacation, I will be maintaining
this for two weeks.
Major changes:
- Debian 2.0 beta has been released, creating a frenzy of last-minute uploads.
Unfortunately most bugreports haven't been updated to reflect this.
- Fixed packages were uploaded for: sysvinit, sendmail, xfree86, dhcp,
kernel-image-2.0.34, cdwrite and libtool . Also uploads were made to fix
security and non-i386 problems.
- Brian White did a nice cleanup of ftp.debian.org
- Bugs were filed for emacs add-on packages not depending on emacs
There are now 13 bugs marked fix, leaving 44 bugs to work on
