Hi Chris,

Thank you for your response. I wasn't involved with the initial set of
uploads (but am intending to help get SBT into buster), so I might not
have the complete story. I was in fact inferring some special
(but temporary) dispensation for these packages because my understanding
is that it won't be possible to build SBT from source until the entire
set of related packages is in the archive, and SBT is required for some
of the builds. scala-tools-sbinary is the last of that set.

Once we have the full complement in the archive, we will have the
necessary tool chain to start picking apart the bootstrapdeps
components. Frederic does a better job of describing it here [1].

My apologies (also to Thorsten) if my initial question came across as
testy. The first set of uploads was in mid-April, and
scala-tools-sbinary isn't obviously connected with that set.

Is the acceptance of scala-tools-sbinary something that the FTP Masters
would be willing to discuss?

Cheers,
tony
