114 : tolimar 1310 software packages must come with copyright information of the used source

126 : taffit-gue 1315 t announced a new contact point for participants of Debian events:
127 :     t <a href="antiharassment@debian.org">antiharassment@debian.org</a>. A

148 :     Williams described Emdebians concepts of components and filters</a>. As
149 :     the package data files of Debian's main distribution became to large to be
150 :     sanely handled on embedded systems, therefore Emdebian Grib sub-divides
151 :     Debian's main repository to minimze cached data, so systems not using e.g.
152 :     any java components, don't need to download and cache meta data for java
153 :     related packages. Neil also explained in detail further filtering
