Raphael,

First, thanks for playing ringmaster for this particular circus.
You've been a big help.  FWIW, I think if we'd done a staging area,
this would have taken a lot longer because people wouldn't have felt
much pressure. :-)

I've done all but a couple of my arch-independent packages---which
should get finished tomorrow morning---and they should all be sitting
in Incoming.

I'm in the middle of a big project right now, though, and some of the
things that depend on perl, I can't be without for long, because that
would impede my ability to get other stuff done.

So, do you know what the status/ETA is on the following library
packages:

  libcgi-perl
  libdbi-perl
  libstorable-perl
  lintian
  libapache-mod-perl

Also, I can't be without the following apps.  Do you know anything
about these:

  apache
  mysql
  ssh
  netscape

I'm willing to do NMUs---just tell me what to do---I just don't want
to step on the maintainers toes if they've already communicated to you
an intention to get these out the door soon.

Cheers,

Mike.
