Asking folks not to use debhelper is silly. What does it prove? Software tools are written to be used; encapsulation of lower-level tasks is the name of the game. Otherwise, why are we even bothering to package software? <sigh> Maybe we should ask folks to compile their kernels without using the supplied make files. That would prove that they *really* know what they're doing. /voivod runs off to admonish one of his sponsees for using commands with names longer than 3 letters! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] | An ounce of perception, http://www.debian.org | a pound of obscure... | (Peart)
