Re: Preparing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3
Nice work. One comment, on realplayer -- the version of the installer in
stable does not currently work, since Real has released a new version of
realplayer and the old version is no longer available[1]. So the package
should either be removed from stable or updated.
Oh, and if you read the bug reports the changelog for watchdog mentions,
you'll find that upgrading watchdog can cause production servers[2] to
reboot w/o warning.
Oh, and for xtide, surely when Debian is in a position of accidentially
distributing data in violation of its copyright, that is sufficient reason
to rev a package in stable, or remove it. We've done so before..

[1] Maybe it's still available somewhere, but god knows where. Their site
is a mess.
[2] Or any other kind of server you need to run a watchdog on.. :-)
