Where would apt not have a comment section in the sources.list that said, for other packages... Why can the web site not say, "information on other packages not part of Debian" and point to non-free.d.o. Why does there have to be a seperate FTP team? Why does non-free have to have a different upload structure any more than non-us does? -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
