Generally the way it works is that if no one objects to the idea, we bring it up on the Policy list, where we have a somewhat more formal process that involves seconds or objections. I think the ideal from a usability standpoint would be to just upload the data directly to the Debian archive, though. It's just a question of how big of packages we want to handle through the mirror network, or whether it's worth the effort to create a separate archive of huge data packages. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
