Thanks! Where could I have found that information myself? (I'm sure it's written down somewher but I couldn't find it... :( ) Oh, one more thing: the debiandoc2* commands in stable can't handle the newest versions of the SGML documents. Do I have to somehow get and run the unstable version of debiandoc2-whatever? Or can I just upgrade a single dtd file or something similarly simple? If I have to use the unstable version - is there a simple way to use it with an otherwise standard debian stable installation? I think it should be possible to apt-get source debiandoc-whatever-the-package is called and then run a nifty little script on it to create a new .deb file, this time tailored to stable instead of unstable and then use dpkg on it... Is that trick described somewhere? -Peter Code is much like elephant dung. The more code, the more bugs. You have to let it rest a while to make sure that the bugs are gone (and large heaps rot slowly).
