You should ask this on debian-alpha, you'll get all the alpha people. As far as I can see from the uploads made, the alpha port is usable. I have to admit that I don't know the state of install disks or so. This could mean that installing it is fiddling. > why all this religious discussion rh better than debian or not? there It's a forever lasting competition one should avoid whenever possible. > why doesn't your majordomo fill the reply-to: field in the header - would > be easier to answer. a) because our majordomo is a smartlist b) because the listmasters consider this as mis-feature. The reply-to field should only be set by the user sending the mail.

If you want to put it into Debian right away there are two chances: a) Get a maintainer who will maintain your package or b) Apply as new maintainer. You'll find most of the information on http://www.de.debian.org/ under the developers corner or via mail to new-maintainer@debian.org.
