That's fine for the Debian project, but we aren't them, and we should not be beholden to their rules. If people want to make .deb packages for themselves directly from CVS, they should be able to (IMHO). It is very wrong (also IMHO) for the Debian developers to make it difficult on those people just to make it easier on themselves. Again, it's always easier to remove something that exists than to create something that doesn't. And I *am* a packager. :-) (Albeit not a Debian one...but horms is.) > as for those willing to create own ad-hoc packages, isn't checkinstall enough? checkinstall is what people use who don't actually know how to package, which are not the people we need to be targetting anyway. :) Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
