Hi, I sent out the below request to US CD vendors. I am wondering what other parties who are committed to the ongoing Potato maintenance (and to hacking things so they work better) are interested in possibly being supplied CDs as outlined below. Remember, only debian-cd or debian-boot hackers (or maybe really committed testers) are eligable, including porters and such. If you are interested, please reply to me including your mailing address, what you plan to use the CD sets for, and what your needs are (e.g., binary i386 cds). -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: supplying the installation developer with cds Date: 15 Oct 2000 16:22:48 -0400 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lines: 32 --text follows this line-- Hello. I am emailing the list of US Debian CD vendors, according to http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors#us. Would it be possible for someone to volunteer to supply certain members of the debian-cd and boot-floppies teams with CDs? I know that I could use one -- I'm the one responsible for the boot-floppies package. I've been notified of some sub-optimal behavior installing with official CDs, but I am unable to test it. I shall collect the needs of others, but just guessing, I would think what we need exactly is: - sets of official Debian CDs for the stable architecture, binary only is fine, updated as non-trivial changes are made to the official cds (such as new boot-floppies or Potato point releases), shipped to select Debian developers working on the install system who need this. I don't image the total number of sets would exceed 8, i.e., one for each of the major ports, a probably a few extra i386 sets to boot-floppies or Debian CD hackers who don't have their own CD burning setup. What I would love is for a CD vendor to volunteer to do this, remembering on their own to burn/ship to the list as new versions are updated, over the period of the next 5 months. At that point we can re-negotiate (the list of hackers may have changed by then) and perhaps rotate this burden to another vendor. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
