I understand that this might happen, and that whould probably end up in a mess, but one point that come out from this small thread is that there are some case in which a backport of a package to stable would be more than a kindness from the Debian developer. This kind issue should be addressed in some way. Just to be sure, i was/am not referring to package like... zope. I mean: i would not release 2.6.1 for stable even if it add really a lot of wanted/nice features. I'm speacking about cases like phpgroupware which provides bugfix relase of the same version, or sensible packages like snort or spamassassin, which hevily depends on up-to-date data/plugins/whatever. I accept your observation on my proposal, but i would more appreciate other ideas and/or solutions. ciao, -- Luca - De Whiskey's - De Vitis | Elegant or ugly code as well aliases: Luca ^De [A-Z][A-Za-z\-]*[iy]'\?s$ | as fine or rude sentences have Luca, a wannabe ``Good guy''. | something in common: they local LANG="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | don't depend on the language.
