Yes, an NMU can be done by a non-DD working via a sponsor. I don't think the docs are in error about this. I think that large parts of the docs are older than the concept of sponsoring, and that most docs that seem to be for DD's also apply for non-DD's working via a sponsor. -- Bart Martens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 30 May 2006 21:00:57 +0200 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
