Hi. After RedHat 5.0 got released we noticably increased reatre of package conversion and this is extremely good. The sooner hamm is relesed the better. But we might consider other opprtunities to *increase* our "market share" in current situation. The problem with RH 5.0 is that there are not that many commercial and even pre-compiled free applications and development environments for libc6 nowdays. This will change but not immediately. Users encoutered with this might consider falling back to some libc5-based distribution for some time. And *up to date* Debian 1.3.1 could very well be the distribution of choice. But only *if* we provide updated versions of the packages.
Can't we finally decide that the creation of this "libc5-updates" directory has higher priority *now* than putting some order with hamm uploads. Developers are anyway accustomed to download new packages directly from Incoming. What do you think about asking Guy to put that on top of his list? Thanks.
