This mail is somewhat lengthy, and most of you do not need to read it. You want to read this mail if you maintain packages which (as of 2 April) sarge temporarily lacks. These are packages which used to be in sarge and still have hope to join the official sarge release but, for whatever reason (probably RC bugs), are not in sarge at the moment. If you do not have this problem, you can safely skip this mail. On Thursday night, I intend to update debram-data for the last time before the freeze, purging metadata on all binaries not in sarge main (i386) 2 April. If you hope that your binary will return to sarge, and if you want sarge debram users to be able to look your package up, then please e-mail me off list a copy of the relevant debian/control by 20:00 GMT Wednesday. (You don't know what debram is? E-mail me your relevant debian/control anyway. Debram is a package catalog, a primitive precursor to Debtags. You probably want your sarge packages listed in debram.) If you do not e-mail me, this is fine, but then I will reckon according to the 2 April /dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages file. Preparing debram-data is not an exact science, but if you want your package ramified and listed, then I don't want to omit it; so just tell me. Send me the debian/control. You may edit the copy of debian/control appropriately before you send it to me. For example, if some of the binaries mentioned there are already safely in sarge, then you should delete mention of them from the copy. I only need to know about the problem binaries. If your binary is a new binary which has never yet entered sarge by 2 April, then I have never yet ramified it, hence debram is going to exclude it. If you want debram to include your new package anyway, this is fine, but in this case I must ask you to take the initiative and help me a little. Please first install debram, enter "debram -cp | less -r", determine the appropriate four-digit ramification number, and tentatively ramify the binary yourself. That is, add an appropriate line like Ramification: 1234 to the debian/control copy you send me. You need to do this only for binaries never before in sarge. If your package used to be in sarge, I probably still have an old ramification number on file for it; and if I don't, I will assign one promptly. Nothing really bad is going to happen to maintainers who fail to attend promptly to this mail, incidentally. It will be okay. The only thing at stake is, in a few cases debram-data may neglect to mention their packages. Following for information are listed the binaries in sid main which sarge main (i386) lacks as of 2 April. If you maintain one of these binaries, and if it used to be in sarge and you hope that it will return to sarge, reply off list. Include the relevant debian/control with your reply. abuse abuse-frabs abuse-lib abuse-sdl adonthell adonthell-data amavis-ng amavis-ng-milter-helper apcupsd-cgi apt-proxy apticron aptitude-doc-fr
