Technically, none, but I don't want to see any damaged relationships or hurt feeling between two important free software organizations just because of a week or two delay. There's already far too much of that sort of thing. I'm not saying it would definitely happen but the tone of the messages was, to me, a little off-putting: forcing things, saying they can't stop you since it's all GPL'd anyway, etc. etc. I've not seen any real discussion of this on this list until a day or two ago; all I'm saying is let's start more slowly with a dialogue before we jump right to the end. However, this entire thread is moot since Peter has already said he doesn't have time to do "real" Debian packaging. So... everyone reach in now and grab your favorite package... :) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
