Oh. Well, I (and a number of other people) missed the announcement of this change in policy. Since it was well-known that ftp.debian.org had just been refurbished, I, at least, had assumed it was merely an oversight and was trying to compensate for it. I apologize for my gaffe. Obviously I should pay better attention to my mail, since it seems I glossed over the announcement of the change in policy. > Please do not upload to ftp.pixar.com unless there is an absolute need. I'm not trying to bypass the COC here or anything, just trying to work around what I and several others perceived as a "glitch". Mike. -- "I'm a dinosaur. Somebody's digging my bones."
