"We" did not cry for the CDs, it was a commercial vendor that demanded them. "I" am quite happy with my private mirror at home. > Then I'll sign the MD5SUMS and we can all get on with something useful. I think one reason why "we" did not react in time is, that all the problems were reported to the users (aka debian-68k) list. Not all of "us" are reading this list, or at least not very intensively, for various reasons. If you want to reach "us", you should write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But as Michael pointed out, "we" are only a handful of developers, lacking time and motivation maybe. If a CD vendor wants CDs images to make money with, I would find it fair, if the vendor invested a little time into this as well. If not, he/she should be patiant (you know how slow m68k machines are?)
Christian -- just my two cents, in no way approved by debian or any other m68k developer.
