I'm not convinced that what's already in testing is safe to ship with etch, to be honest. I'll dig into the build system changes and prepare a replacement, unless somebody else (Eduard?) already has a similar replacement ready. The existing GPL code should be fine; if needs be we can simply go back to the last GPLed build system and fix from there. A good free replacement is needed, but that clearly won't hit etch... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
