Yes, I'll take care of that. Just so you know, I'm not touching the ICU packages again until after 3.8 makes it into Lenny. The transition was one day away and then got blocked by a gcc-related problem. One ICU transitions, my next upload will be 3.8.1, which has already come out. (No ABI changes there.) If your patch applies cleanly to 3.8.1 (or I can adjust it, which seems likely), then I'll apply it and report upstream. Otherwise, I'll ask you to regenerate it against 3.8.1. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
