Strictly, the only thing that the ftpmasters are worried about is the layout of the archive, and that's not really very tricky. But we'll just assume you were uing the ftpmaster address to contact the buildd maintainers. > It doesn't make sense to do the work just to find out that > the ftpmasters don't like the solutions (perhaps for good reasons we did > not thing about). I'm sure there'll be some problems with whatever you propose (there's always problems with everything I propose anyway), but they're rarely that big. And there's now way of working out exactly what they are until you make the proposal... Basically, start by just doing everything yourselves, then work out (a) what bits you end up building that need to be put on the ftp site, and (b) what scripts you have that can conceivably be run a little bit more automatically. (If you're already at that point, just start talking specifics) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
