If I were a crazier man I would say something like:

   "The end is neigh!"

It is a dark, dark day for Debian, indeed.

Don't do it. See the previous thread titled 'udev'.

Your mouse will no longer work.

There's a new version of udev coming soon which can safely replace hotplug.

Also note that libgphoto2-2 (upon which much of the desktop metapackages 
depend) will conflict with the new udev-0.070-3 until a NMU can be processed 
as the maintainer is on vacation.

old question with new status? Sun-Java in Debian non-free?

2005-10-27 Thread Jason Clinton
According to various press releases [1], it seems that Sun is relaxing 
their redistribution license for Java. I know very little about the 
historical releases that the JRE has been kept out of Debian but wasn't 
it because the license was too restrictive?

If so, does this mean that Java is now in "the same boat" as Macromedia 
Flash Player?

If so, what can I do to take the initiative to package it up for Debian 
non-free?

I apologize in advance if this brings up an old flame war...
