Right, I didn't think you did. Sorry if it came out that way. > I'm well aware of the bottleneck.

Your choice. For non-US, this is definitely a good idea. For main I'd rather have all logs go to one address, and us find a way to have multiple people process them, so that no package gets stalled by one missing maintainer. > > > would be a creative interpretation of export regulations :-).

What sense would it make to move the database to > ftp-master, then? I'm trying to get voltaire's reverse DNS fixed so that it can talk to auric again. Other than that I need to apply some buildd patches and talk to Ryan Murray. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Debian GNU/Linux Developer Monta Vista Software Debian Security Team
