Again, having a generic (for every distros) keyword in this string would be nice. "delivered" and "convenience" are not nice keyword for the "filter" purpose. # This META file is delivered by Debian-packagers for your convenience. # This META file is delivered by Mandriva-packagers for your convenience. -- Regards Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
