Hi,
Personally, I am inclined to think that if your release fixed
bugs, and introduced not too many new features, it should go
into frozen.
Secondly, new maintainers do not have a corner on errors and
bugs; and I am of the opinion we treat people no different that what

I have installed altgcc, and libc5-altdev. I can't find a lib[cg]++-altdev.
altgcc contains g++, but there is no c++ library for it to use. Help!
I am trying to compile apt for use on bo. apt compiles fine on hamm for me.

Hi.
Marcus, I was just clarifying (once more) the status of gettext in Debian.
It is in experimental because the author asked me not to distribute it
"widely". This means that even if it is not accesable by dselect, we
should not put it on CDs yet.
