Re: Advice on a freeze exception request

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Dear Adeodato,

I have now rebuilt and reuploaded the texlive-base and it is accepted.
The changelog is the same as before, I only rebuild the package.

So I would like to ask for a freeze exception for texlive-base 2007.dfsg.1-4

See below for details.


Thanks and all the best

Norbert

PS: Another request for texlive-extra is coming in in a minute
