But notice that the FAQ is part of the DDP project and we are all obligued to keep it up to date. We should have detected (as a group) that it was going to need an update for sarge much earlier than five days before the release. Also: - the fact that doc-debian uses byhand - the fact that packages in the release needed to go through sid first did not help in get the package be added into sarge. It's updated in the CD/DVD images (the byhand got installed) but the package itself will need to be updated through proposed-updates. I'm working on it to remove a lot of stuff, besides updating the fact sarge = stable and etch = testing and will provide a new version. It is an example of how unmaintained many things in the DDP are and why do we need to change the current situation. Regards Javier
