I want the switch to go in such a way that the various indexers don't get confused. There's a way to give another author ownership of modules through pause. They have to give permission for each module in the distro. They should also contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to have them give you ownership of the RT queue, although that might automatically pick up PAUSE changes these days. -dave /*=== VegGuide.Orgwww.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

He/she is then presented with a series of select buttons, and wants 2.1 Pass primary maintainership status to somebody else Which gets to a form to select which modules to transfer. Nicholas Clark
