Hi, Yes, I very much agree with you, we (that means you, thanks for volunteering! ;-) ) should try to get all maintainers to do the migration. As the changes are not really disruptive, there is not *much* risk of disrupting currently existing packages, so it should pose no problems to the upcoming freeze. > On another topic: I see that many transitional lib*-ruby* packages have not > moved to the oldlibs category.

And, of course, file them as bugs as well for those packages as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
