He did upload, then he uploaded new version of this package. This package is in NEW stage for seven months: http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/compcache-tools_0.6-1.html I wrote a few mails to ftp-masters (now they are in CC, too), but there was no answer. Does anybody know why this package isn't approved? Today I've installed debian/linux kernel 2.6.35 and want to use this feature and I'm forced to build this package by hand. Why? -- ... mpd is off .
