ftp-team requested approval from RM since there is still no (public?) policy about oot-modules for etch. Or a bit longer: The absolutely great idea of the kernel-team is that linux-modules-extra will conglomerate all oot-modules of main, so that with special treatment of this very package, the NEW queue will not always be doomed with currently about 100 oot-modules x $arch_count package approvals (there is no auto-approve for buildd-uploads of oot-modules whose source package was already accepted). However, the idea goes further, that all oot-modules which are not part of linux-modules-extra will be not allowed at all in etch to keep point-releases simple. But, since this is all vapourware atm, I asked to be allowed to have temporary packages of squashfs and unionfs in the archive, so that we can built images of testing in the meanwhile. Once, there is a policy or linux-modules-extra entered the archive, these two packages will be removed. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
