Though I wish it was possible to include freeradius in woody, I do understand where Chad is coming from. How are we to recognize a particular version as being 'least buggy' ahead of time? If all the snapshots have bugs in them of one kind or another, how is any snapshot going to get enough testing to be confident there aren't any major, ugly, yet-unseen bugs hiding in the code that will pop out only after a version of freeradius has been burned to hundreds of thousands of CDs around the world? I'd like to see freeradius in woody, but not to the point that I'm volunteering to do the heavy lifting on Chad's behalf if bugs show up after release. Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
