What a concept. Think of RT as being like a library bundled with its -dev package. You don't go replacing libraries with versions of a higher soname when you know most of your users have linked specifically to the version you distributed. Likewise, we're not about to junk RT 3.0 till 3.4 has proved stable for long enough that most of our users have ported all their scripts to the new RT 3.4 APIs. "Our priorities are our users ..." right? That said, we'll scrap the 3.2 packages when 3.4 get into sid; they've never been in a stable distribution and they haven't been in sid for that long. -- Andrew Stribblehill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ITP: tct (The coroner's toolkit)
Package: tct Priority: optional Section: web Description: The coroner's toolkit A set of low-level (read dangerous) tools which can be used to help reconstruct a partial event log after a break-in, and to retrieve deleted files. Usually you need to have installed it before you need to restore a file. Homepage: http://www.fish.com/tct License: Parts are IBM Public License v1 (http://www.fish.com/tct/LICENSE) and the rest is a very slightly-modified BSD license (http://www.fish.com/tct/COPYRIGHT). If it transpires that this mix of licenses is incompatible with Debian (main) I shall withdraw my ITP. I'm in the NM queue -- would anybody be so good as to sponsor me for this?

Doesn't gzip have a --rsync option, or somesuch? Apparently Andrew Tridgell (Samba, Rsync) has a patch to do this, but I don't know whether he passed it onto the gzip maintainers. (Apparently he's working on a --fuzzy flag for matching rsyncs between, say foo-1.0.deb and foo-1.1.deb. He says it should be called the --debian flag.)
