I approve of this patch in general. I want to hold off a little before applying it, though, because I know that some infrastructure is still a bit ... recent where it comes to build profiles. (In particular, since my day job is as a Launchpad developer, I'd rather like to get Launchpad to support this first so that I don't make problems for myself at work.) But I think we can probably do this fairly soon. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
