2001-01-11 Thread Joe Drew
I've got three packages which need to be uploaded ready with a new version, distributed-net, lxdoom, and djtools (which I've adopted.) However, I'm not yet an official debian developer (still waiting on my AM.) So, if someone could upload the packages at http://gemini.woot.net/~hosehead/packages it
