Bug#151829: CPU package in debian

[Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org>]

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again about cpu. As I said I aim to have CPU available 
in sarge. From a rapid calculation it seems that for this to happen a 
realistic deadline would be to have it uploaded for the 8th of september.

This considering it takes about a week for the ftpmasters to scrutinize and
approve a new package, the usual 10-days delay for testing, and the fact
that the distribution will freeze on the 1st of October (unless there are
delays for the toolchain to be fixed, which I cannot tell).

So, unless you have a package ready for that date I'll have to upload it 
myself, and maybe after that we can co-maintain it in sid. (with ready here
meaning: with no packaging errors, and with a release quality standard)
Obviously I cannot sponsor a package which doesn't follow the rules, since
as a sponsor I'm fully responsible for what I upload. Anyway I'll gladly 
accept any contribution or bug fix for the package and the software. 
(Since I'm not so familiar with the CVS I'll upload the released one.)

I hope you can accept this: normally I would have had no problem to give 
you more time to prepare a package I would accept to upload, but I had to 
adopt a more restrictive policy due to the time constraints. (I consulted
about this with some other debian mentors, and they agreed it's a fair 
policy)

Thanks for your contribution,

Guido
