I don't understand why I'd want this for one of my packages. I add versioned dependencies when some functionality I need is added in a particular version. I only care that that functionality is available. Why would I make my dependencies unnecessarily tight when I don't need any of the newer features? -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
