I am *very* glad to hear that. After sending the above, I discovered that the package had in fact already been removed from both testing and unstable; I was starting to be concerned that it might need a full RFP / ITP / RFS / trip-through-NEW / etc. cycle, which could be more of a problem and more time-consuming than I'd prefer to engage with at this stage. While obviously making the release freeze would be preferable, don't worry too much if you can't make that time-frame on your end; I'd still be happier with the package available in sid (or even experimental) than with it dropped entirely, even if it doesn't get shipped with the next release. > Thanks a lot for the work you did here. Thank *you* for picking this package back up, even with the upstream side already handled! My "if there's anything I can do to help" on this still stands, so long as I continue to have the time and other capacity to spare. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
