Several packages have been accepted yesterday and are waiting in the incoming area [1]. It seems that the lacking copyright notice and/or licensing terms are not that problematic. However, six packages got rejected (communications [2], fixed [3], nnet [4], odepkg [5], optim [6], and vrml [7]) because the sources for the PDF and info files are missing in the tarballs. We (the DOG) will try to fix the problems by including the sources taken from SVN into the Debian source packages, but it would be good to fix it upstream.
