hi, following up on the php/pear policy discussion, i think it's time we start actively soliciting input from developers and package maintainers of the various subsystems that are affected by this policy. having briefly communicated in private with the php maintainer and a few others, i think it's fairly clear that we will fare much better if we have the approval of such individuals and teams. this way, when we approach the debian-policy team, we can hopefully have enough support and political clout (as well as some helpful tools) to push this through. it will also bring a critical eye to what we have so far, and may also help us find things we haven't addressed and/or problems with our logic. so i've generated a tentative list[1]. what do you think? i think after we sort out the php situation we should send something out to said list. sean [1] --- php, pear --- Adam Conrad <adconrad@0c3.net> (php3, php4) --- other programming languages --- Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> (perl) Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org> (python) Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp> (ruby) Debian Java Maintainers <pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> (java) Marek Habersack <grendel@debian.org> (pike) --- database servers --- Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org> (mysql) Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org> (postgresql) --- web servers (generated) --- Package: yaws Maintainer: Will Newton <will@debian.org> Package: thy Maintainer: Gergely Nagy <algernon@bonehunter.rulez.org> Package: thttpd Maintainer: Daniel Baumann <daniel.baumann@panthera-systems.net> Package: roxen4 Maintainer: Turbo Fredriksson <turbo@debian.org> Package: roxen3 Maintainer: Turbo Fredriksson <turbo@debian.org> Package: mzscheme Maintainer: Stevie Strickland <sstrick@debian.org> Package: micro-httpd Maintainer: Daniel Baumann <daniel.baumann@panthera-systems.net> Package: mathopd Maintainer: Jose M.
