Check out http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=wnpp&archive=no for a list of packages that are requested, orphaned, or otherwise need some help to get into the archive. http://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages for a list of other so-called pseudo packages (things like the mailing lists, or the boot cd's) and a list of unresolved bugs on them. Some of these need quite a bit of work (like the boot cd's) from what I understand, so help there might be appreciated. That's at least a start. I'm sure there must be a way to get a list of bugs with a specific tag; e.g 'help' or 'unreproducable' that need some help to fix, but I can't find it right now. Colin, is that possible? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | The problem with the gene pool is that | | steve@lobefin.net | there is no lifeguard. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
