Hi Marc, some references I found: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452105 http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html (note that the use of the old homepage pseudo field is especially marked deprecated) Tools that support the new Homepage field: dpkg(-dev), pts, packages.debian.org, lintian, aptitude, apt Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
