You're not checking for copyright violations or for non-free stuff in all other packages. I see no reason why you should check for Linux just because it passes through NEW at each release for unrelated technical reasons. The only reason that things like linux-2.6.XX pass through NEW is, from my POV, because noone stepped up to fix it so that old source packages don't have to pass through. If you/we have an issue with the way things are being done by the kernel team, it should be resolved with them and possibly with the help of tech-ctte if an agreement can't be made. IMHO, it's not the ftp-master's job to check with each upload if a number of DDs follow the social contract as they should. If there is indeed a problem, we should try to solve this once and forever, shouldn't we? Regards, Faidon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
