So I have a solution to propose. keep in mind that these (mozilla, nautilus, galeon et al) are large packages and should get a decent ammount of time to live in unstable/testing so they can, well, be tested and get stabilized for when woody finally becomes stable. at the rate we are going that is not going to happen. > In my opinion, the least confrontational way for this situation to be > resolved would be a compromise.

What do you all > think? Kitame? IMNSHO crypto removed mozilla packages would be USELESS. sorry but thats how i and i am sure many others feel about it, crypto is absolutly necessary for many people. if crypto can't go in main then just upload the damn thing to non-US and be done with it, PLEASE. as far as CD makers go, given the current crypto regulations they might already be allowed to distrubute CDs anyway, im not really sure and frankly i don't really care, they should move to canada or some other nation with less retarded laws. ideally mozilla could have its crypto componant split cleanly off and put in non-US, but if that can't be done in a reasonable ammount of time or without rendering mozilla buggy/broken then DON'T BOTHER, just upload the whole damn thing to non-US. theres my rant for the day. -- Ethan Benson who thinks debian should just move the entire archive to non-US http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
