I announced sysvinit-2.72 on comp.os.linux.announce several weeks
ago, even added the lsm which lists sunsite.unc.edu as the primary
site. *I* cannot help it that it has been stuck in incoming for
weeks now!
Besides as secondary site I listed ftp.debian.org, so everybody can
get it even though it's not in place on sunsite.
