That't fine. This way it will be kept out of testing.I'd rather have a package with some bugs that I can use in some fields than no package at all. If you don't want to use the package simply don't install it.
> it _will_ change.Ok, then I'll change the package accordingly. It won't the first changing package that I'm maintainig. You can take a look at Tomcat's history for example: Tomcat 4.1.2 has almost nothing in common with the first Tomcat 3.x package.

I'll disable the automatic startup of httpd and leave it up to the user to configure their web server to restrict access (allow, deny, SSL, ...) to InterMezzo's CGIs.
I'd rather have you maintain the packages since you probably know more about InterMezzo than me. But then you have to upload your packages within the next few weeks. Keeping an ITP open for almost 2 years is not an option.
