Hello, as the maintainer of the polyxmass-doc package, I would like to ask if it were possible to make it into Sarge. Please find below an exchange of mails between my mentor (DD Lionel Mamane, CC'd) and Joey Hess (CC'd), who both think that this package might well be put into Sarge. I hope that polyxmass-doc will be accepted into Sarge, as were all the other packages of the GNU polyxmass scientific software suite. Thank you for your kind attention, Filippo Rusconi ----- Forwarded message from Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> ----- Lionel Elie Mamane wrote: > On Sat, May 07, 2005 at 09:03:19PM -0400, Joey Hess wrote: > > > polyxmass-doc > > That's the documentation for binaries that _are_ in sid; it was a few > days late for sarge.

There's no particular reason we can't let this documentation package in, but it is up to its maintainer. -- see shy jo ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Filippo Rusconi, PhD - CNRS researcher - key C78F687C @ pgp.mit.edu Author of ``GNU polyxmass'' at http://www.polyxmass.org
