well, linkoo & this blacklist have served me and a bunch of others quite well over more than a year - I'd guess that's enough empirical evidence to say that it does work reliably. And for the newcomer, this 'hack' is nicely wrapped into a tool she can readily use. > If we want features like linkoo, first make the code ready for > them.

I am very open for discussion about *that*.) > Fine with me. I'm not insisting on the current solution, only pointing out that triple copying around of files (local output -> solver -> installation tree) is a major PITA and plainly non-obvious for new developers. So, constructive ideas, anybody? -- Thorsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
