Debian "Woody" (which is the current "stable" distro) won't break for sure, since no new Courier packages will be included in it, ever. New Courier packages will be included in "Sarge" (currently the "testing" distro, and being prepared to become the new "stable" distro), and "Sid" (always the "unstable" distro). Since "testing" and "unstable" both use 2.4 kernels, Courier on Debian as a whole wouldn't break. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
