It's not hard to see that someone who's done so much would know about uploading them to Debian and Ubuntu.<br /><br />In fact, they know more than you do and know about the beuracracies and policy issues, and that's it shows with getdeb being so popular.<br /><br />Debian/Ubuntu devs are as blind as always though! And clueless people like you are always going "have you tried uploading?".<br /><br />(or maybe you're that 'foo' alias that spams every blog post with these upload messages. Try doing some work yourself.)Vadim Peretokinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972553368691310521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834489264750020926.post-70446585602780281692009-12-10T19:31:37.061-08:002009-12-10T19:31:37.061-08:00Have you considered uploading these packages to De...Have you considered uploading these packages to Debian (and syncing them to Ubuntu) instead of just uploading to getdeb.net?slashdotaccounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290555882203363205noreply@blogger.com
