As clearly explained in the mail to debian-devel-announce, it's the porters job to do the transition. Currently debian-ports can't accept a new port due to disk space issue. We already tried to upgrade them, but it failed. The porters wantijng a new port on debian-ports.org should find a person in Paris who can go to the place and fix the issue (which probably means also buying a new hard drive). > 3) shouldn't such a decision (the removal of an arch from the archive) > be voted on, instead of being the arbitrary ruling of a couple of DDs? > Or did I miss the bit that said "not releasing in time equals archive > removal"? ftpmasters are not a couple DD, but DPL delegates. As such, they can take decisions regarding the archive. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
