Nope, but I did finish the last little UI tweak that I wanted to get in (the dashboard should be a lot more useful now...) There seems to be a crashing gremlin still hanging out, but I can't track it down (only saw it once). Unless I have a clever idea about where it is, I'll do the release tomorrow and hope someone else can make it happen in their debugger. ;-) Daniel _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
