I didn't mean that you, in particular, *must* take these two packages "or I won't do libiconv." It's just that your name popped into my head as one who was complaining, specifically, that I "refused" to release libiconv. The real reason I changed my mind (on libiconv) is that I've done some additional reading, and realized that libiconv and gettext are tightly connected -- in fact, are interdependent -- so releases of those two packages must be coordinated. It's best if that's done by a single person. e.g. me. > But my priority is perl 5.8 now and I don't plan to release new zip/unzip > packages before perl 5.8 is done. There's really no need to release new zip/unzip packages in the near future at all -- unless all you want to change is the maintainer line in the README (which seems a waste of bandwidth). I just recently updated to the latest versions, added all the outstanding patches...it should be good for another year or so. <g> It's not the work, it's the responsibility. --Chuck
