The new page looks really clean and easy to read. Thanks to everyone who participated in making it available. I like the "Age" column, but I think it's still useful to know the actual date when something was uploaded. This would be less useful if we didn't see things in months (where one can't tell how close to two three months or one month something that says two months is), but as long as we do, it would be useful. Just my $0.02. When something is uploaded multiple times, does the age count from the date of the first upload or of the last upload? I've always wondered whether doing a subsequent upload after the first one went into NEW "resets the clock" on ftp-master approval. My policy has been to do an upload to experimental for any existing source package with a new binary package and to not do any further uploads to experimental until it gets approved. This way, uploads without the new binary package can proceed to unstable without risking resetting the clock. Once the package is approved, I would turn around and immediately upload to unstable. (See tiff for an example.) Do you happen to know whether this procedure makes a difference? (I realize, of course, that generating information from the package list in NEW does not imply knowledge of the order in which ftp-masters approve or reject packages.) -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
