I'm not one to jump to that kind of conclusion before looking at some alternatives first. It's possible that the solution has already been provided by the author - I haven't checked the packages MAKEFILE for possible build-time config options, or other compile-time options. Lacking that, its also possible and may be appropriate to use debian's 'quilt' system to patch the upstream. It's also possible that just contacting the author and making a request will effect a change. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
