I second that. At some point you will upgrade to a newer release even if it's still in 5 years, but at that point you would already have those packages straight in your distro. If those don't get packaged now, you'll have the same situation when you upgrade, which you then need to manually update for yet another 10 year ;) +Emilien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
