OK, I'll jump in here.
Why is removing the Sarge repo a big deal in the first place? I mean
the only people that still should be using Sarge are people with old
machines that can't handle Etch, or perhaps servers.
Now anyone with an old machine should already have the files that said
repo provides, and a server doesn't need them. Therefore, I see no problem.
Then there's also the issue of it's his server, he can do what he wants.
It's my ball and I'm going home syndrome. Bitching about not being able
to play without a ball will not usually result in getting that same ball
back, but perhaps another kid has a ball you can play with.
IMO, people should just upgrade Sarge to Etch, or forget about
multimedia in a machine that shouldn't have it in the first place, and
march happily along in yesteryear.
