I will be 'coming up to speed' for quite a while so please keep that in mind. Kaffe support is important to the kind of community that Debian attracts. I am still trying to sort out the CVS mechanism used by the previous package maintainer. There is enough tradional homework to keep me busy for a while, so I hope these issues are resolved by the time my ignorance subsides ;-) Richard _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
