Hi, I'll reply to this question since the nomination period is over now and since you seem to be interested by the opinion of the candidates despite of the other responses you already received.

I wasn't part of the little team lead by Sam Hartmans (and in general I don't follow debian-legal@l.d.o even if it's an important topic, it's not really the kind of things that interests me) so I can't say much more. But the document sent to the lawyers was well written and covered everything required AFAIK, so I'm confident for the future. > 2) Do you believe crypto-in-main is an important goal? Why or why > not? Yes, because integrating all the SSL stuff in the main packages (and thus gettind rid off the *-ssl copies) is great and because it's a pity to have to move to non-US packages like libdbd-pg-perl (I maintain it that's why I'm taking it as an example) just because postgresql has some crypto stuff enabled in it. > 3) Barring unforeseen difficulties, would you push to have the > crypto-in-main transition done during this year? Yes, of course. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -+- http://strasbourg.linuxfr.org/~raphael/ Formation Linux et logiciel libre : http://www.logidee.com
