RTFM, huh? :^) Well, the Debian New Maintainer's Guide says nothing (that I can find) about sending a package to unstable/non-free, only unstable. The Debian Packaging Manual says to use 'non-free' as there is no distinction between stable|frozen|unstable in the non-free distro. This entry is to be made in the changelog. However, the reason I am asking it that there *is* a distinction among stable|frozen|unstable in the archive. I have a full local mirror to look at to check that. Unless I am mistaken about the location of all those (regular) files under dists/unstable/non-free/ I am more than willing to go by the Packaging Manual and mark it non-free, and let the archive maintainers place it by hand. I was just hoping there was a way to automate it to save them the trouble. Or is it already automated? Thanx again for your time. :^) Cheers! ____________________________________________________________________ / Clay Crouch, Shamless Bum ;^> | <http://danno.tzo.com/~danno> \ | Linux Administration/Consulting | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Debian Package Maintainer | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | "Away put your weapon; I mean you no harm." -- Master Yoda | +--------------------------------------------------------------------| | 1024D/7D2AD631: 2319 2356 FEDF 4631 63F3 762A E443 1C2A 7D2A D631 | \____________________________________________________________________/
