I've definitely choosen a very bad time to claim e-mail the most reliable way of conversation. ;-) But Lumins argument of mailing list archives is a good point. In general I need to admit that in the now close to 20 years I have upload permissions the overall happiness about ftpmaster processing is mostly increasing over time. We had some very bad times when only a single person was caring. Since this bottleneck was solved it became dramatically better. There are surely times when the queue fills up but if you give good reasons for ftpmasters why a specific package is more important than others (like this package helps fixing RC bug #xy) or so this is very promptly processed. To repeat myself: Cudos to ftpmaster Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
