I've never heard of you before in my life until Guido forwarded your
mail to me yet I'm subscribed to all the PTS lists of the packages and
I'm the guy listed in the changelogs recently for more recent 4.0.x
uploads. I'm sorry but I'm not psychic so I didn't contact you when
we'd prepared 4.1.99.1 packages.

I've not looked at the os-cillation (now os-works) -goodies packages but
we can't ship the base 4.2 packages from os-works as they're not just
4.2. They are 4.2 + some xfld patches and in some cases (xfdesktop in
particular) they have 4.3 code in them that we can't guarantee will be
supported.

Since then xfce 4.2 has released and the first URL has all the 4.2
packages - I believe Madkiss is looking at potentially uploading these
to experimental.

Are these just recompiles for PPC of the 4.2 packages above?

Quite. We can't distribute this in good faith if we are staying true to
the xfce.org tarballs.
Emanuele Rocca persuaded Andrew Lau to open up the alioth project for
xfce so your efforts might well be better used there.
