Besides that, I just skip to the option of interest rather than reading the whole man page from the top to the bottom until something goes wrong ;) So, this is a question of usability. I'm fine with current changes (0.147) to the man page, but IMHO putting the example EXTRAPACKAGES with 3 items (and probably the note about shell script) not just to the man page but also to the installed pbuilderrc would be the right thing to do. -- ...Bye..Dmitry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
