freshmeat now has a deb repository.
i have been busy all morning as a freshmeat staff member pulling
down packages onto the freshmeat server and updating their
appindex records. (scoop recently implemented the ability to
provide a link to a deb directory on freshmeat) i updated 81
appindex records
I was wandering, is there a DEC Alpha version of Debian linux or are you
planning on doing one ? I know there is a RedHat version, but...
Thanks for your time

Is that correct? I ask because dinstall currently installs packages
into hamm and slink by installing it into the former and symlinking it
to the later. This causes unnecessary mirror traffic for those archs
that will only be released with 2.1 because I must later move binary-*
for those to slink

i realy like cruft a lot ! i strongly suggest to all developers to check

cruft is a program in debian-incoming, it looks at package files, diversion,
alternatives, etc. and reports broken symlinks, files not owned by any
package, files in users home not own
