What abou the size of the NEWs queue, and the relative position of your package in it. To be usefull, this would imply that the ftp-masters operate the NEW queue in fifo order, which may or may not be the case. Waiting for a package to be accepted (or rejected) is a lengthy and/or frustrating business, but as i understand there is no way around it. Also, many packages go into the news queue while this is not really necessary, for example, is it really necessary for a new soname version of a library to wait in the news queue, when the previous version did already be packaged ? Or the new kernel-source package ? Friendly, Sven Luther
