What is cint? I can't find it in debian/main. If it is available there, and root can make use of it, then it should use that copy (potentially smaller root source tarball, less build time, bug fixes + security updates + general aethetic appeal). If it *could* be useful to other packages, then root maintainers should consider packaging it separately (if root uses a pristine copy). -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
