What is important imho is to have proper ITP filed and notified where this draft package resides. And that might be also a reasonable place where to mention why ITP is not yet fulfilled Also within blends we have Pkg-URL field, so whoever is looking for a draft package of the software of interest they can find it. Making draft packages available to public before all corners are polished is one of the reasons we have http://neuro.debian.net repository available. And together with blends information/tasks it provides means for proper presentation of the package online until it appears at packages.debian.org as well, e.g.: http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/jist.html -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555]
