If there are outstanding bugs you'd like to see fixed, provide patches or upload now. We are also getting into the last days for ensuring that standard and task packages get included in the Woody release. At the moment it looks like a lot of packages will be removed from Woody. Among these are a whole bunch of commonly used programs like gpm, Mutt, CVS, Procmail, Apache and Mozilla. People who can fix bugs in these packages and care about them are encouraged to send in patches or upload fixed packages using Anthony's unofficial NMU guidelines."

Apache and Mozilla et al? by sketerpot · 2001-11-23 06:17 · Score: 3, Interesting

Surely they can put things like Apache and Mozilla in a special "Mostly harmless" directory or something. It would be a tragedy to see a linux distro ship without things like these.
