You don't test it yourself. When it's uploaded with Arch: any, it gets built on all architectures. If the build fails, you'll be notified of it (via a bug). Those bugs then get fixed. If it builds, but fails to run properly on an arch, then someone will find that out and lodge a bug too. > >> The /etc/default/dhcp-probe directory is used to store all configuration > >> files needed (one for each interface on which dhcp-probe is used).

Uhm... no. That's not how it's done. /etc/default/<file> is a shell fragment that configures the operation of /etc/init.d/<file>. /etc/default is not a place for random config junk because you don't want to mkdir /etc/<package>. I repeat: DO NOT put your package's general config data in /etc/default. Put all that configuration data in /etc/dhcp-probe. If the init scripts for the package are currently structured such that there is one init script per configured interface, someone needs to learn to use for loops. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
