we should ask the technical committee to rule over it. And maybe this needs some voting in the end. I personally think that we should not rename it. And putty's plink should not be renamed either. The two are in a technical conflict, though with little practical consequences. To me, this situation is preferable over the renaning of the binary of either. Please keep in mind that we don't need to package everything. (sn)plink can just be removed from the archive. Or could it move to non-free since it does not adhere to Debian's principles? I need to reread the policy here. Best regards, Steffen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
