Why was the policy introduced? Further, is there a location from which pending backports can be downloaded? Packages in the NEW queue appear in the incoming archive but these backports are not included. Without an understanding of why these packages are delayed, I need to be able to offer the backports to users directly to fix their installations. I can offer lava-coordinator because I did that backport, I'm unable to find the python-daemon backport uploaded by Andreas. Just having that .deb somewhere would be very useful. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
