If you, we, the ftpmasters want to do a data/[main|contrib|non-free] on the same level as our current [main|contrib|non-free] that's ok with me. That DOES give us trees like.. stable/main/... stable/contrib/... stable/data/main/.... stable/data/contrib/.... The next logical move would be stable/main/data, stable/contrib/data and I would object to *that* move.. part of the reason for this move is to make easy mirroring/cd makeing seperations. -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
