Between Feb 25 - Jul 27 no new maintainers were being processed by the DAM yet there was no announcement as to why. Was this caused by the "few individuals not in The Project"? There has also been an open bug requesting amd64 be added to the archive since May 8 2004 with no response from ftpmaster. Also, the question I sent to ftpmaster on June 18 about amd64 was on request of the DPL since he did not know the answers himself. It was a polite message and yet ftpmaster never responded to it. Since I did not cc: any lists my message when originally sent I will include it below. Chris --- Subject: Addition of Debian AMD64 Port to the Debian archive I would like to know on behalf of the Debian AMD64 port team when we can expect for the Debian AMD64 port to be added to the Debian archive. The Debian AMD64 port is already above 97% compiled which is better than half of the archs currently in the archive. It also has a working debian-installer that many people have so far used to install the port with. Several of the other official archs have yet to finish their installer as well. We believe that the AMD64 port is ready to be released with Sarge. Although we do still need a few packages to be patched, many of the remaining maintainers have stated they would correct their packages once AMD64 port became official. We believe we can get the remaining packages corrected within a short amount of time since we have already produced patches for them, so this would not delay the Sarge release. Thanks, Chris Cheney Debian AMD64 Port Team ---
