linuxpackages.net and droplinegnome.org

[Jude DaShiell]

Yesterday I managed to get myself an account on droplinegnome.org I left a 
bug message since droplinegnome hasn't yet got festival where one can 
install it and use it to get orca talking. Today I managed to build the 
astrolog 5.40 package for slackware and did it correctly enough that the 
package shows up in my packages list when I install it and so far as I can 
tell the whole package works too. I just learned how to make a slackware 
package that would do that.  Unfortunately linuxpackages.net uses capsha's 
so even though I built a package I can't register and submit it. Not good 
news for anyone else in the speakup community wanting to submit a package. 
What I'm curious to know though is what the situation is with debian 
fedoraproject, gentoo, and ubuntu.  Do these sites also block totally 
blind package submitters from registering?  It was a surprise to me 
droplinegnome didn't place such an impediment in my way but I'm not going 
to hold that against them.

Boy I am not sure. As for Fedora it doesn't look like they do.  They are 
talking captia on Fedora but it hasn't went too far yet.  Also there is a 
Debian packager Mario if he is on the list I would like to hear his 
experiences.

He was on here at one point, but the last post I recall seeing from
him a while back stated that he was leaving, since he felt there was
too much off-topic traffic here.
