Well in the case of the one new package I have pending it is
because the upstream finally moved the API out of the source and into
it's own library... Now I'm waiting on that library to be accepted so
I can upload the new upstream version of the package that is already
part of the distribution... The pending package in question is
libfwbuilder-0.10.0 which is needed by fwbuilder-0.9.6 in order to
compile and operate properly... I got libfwbuilder uploaded early in
the week (Monday) and am still waiting on it's manual processing by
the ftp masters so the upload of the new fwbuilder package will not
break people's machines when they try to upgrade...
