Just to clarify since some people might not be aware of release terminology: "offering hints" here doesn't mean "giving hints that you want to be a release person" but "giving information about which packages to hint into testing" (the testing scripts need some help [manual hints] sometimes, e.g. when packages have to move to testing at the same time). http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/06/msg00029.html is an example (just one randomly grabbed from the archives). See http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/hints/ for more information, especially http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/hints/README -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
