I'd like to say, how hard would it be for James to drop me a short note regarding this at that time. In fact, I've filed bug reports to lynx in the past but never (really never!) got any rely from maintainers.

Umm, saying it is stable enough and you advised to put it in experimental? This sounds to me very self-contradicting. If you all think it is enough to update lynx to the current version (and a maintainer keeps it in the latest version), it's okay for me now (sigh). But if I'm allowed to advice, it will be better to use the package name lynx-cur because it is the name of the upstream source. Zephaniah, I'd like to hear your opinion if possible. If my mail sounds unpleasant, it is not my intention but it is because my English ability prevents me from expressing my feeling correctly enough in Englisy ;-) Regards, 2008-4-21(Mon) -- Debian Developer - much more I18N of Debian Atsuhito Kohda <kohda AT debian.org> Department of Math., Univ. of Tokushima -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
