I am subscribed both to the debian-announce mailing list and to the
linux-announce list. I have just received the following from
linux-announce:
From: Johnie Ingram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Debian 2.1 - Release and IRC Party
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 22:23:13 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The next stable version of Debian GNU/Linux will be released on March
2, 1999. It will support Intel, m68k, Alpha and SPARC architectures,
and feature a record number of pre-compiled official packages (2,250+).
and so on....
Now the strange thing is that I did not receive any such message from
debian-announce. I thought that any message from Debian, that went to
Linux Announce, always first went to debian-announce. It would seem
that either this didn't happen this time, or if it did, the message
didn't get to me.
Now the other thing is, that it isn't the first time this has
happened. When Hamm was released, a similar thing happened. When I
wrote to debian-user about it then I got mixed reports. Some people
agreed with me that they hadn't got the message, while other people
said it had been announced on debian-announce --- though I think maybe
the latter had seen it on a newsgroup or something (does this sound
right?).
Anyway, something seems to be wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark.
