I just tweaked package.php on the web PDB so that binaries for packages that are License:Restrictive packages are not included. It's not an ideal "solution", but it's hella easier than adjusting all the CVS tags, package indices, and back-end databases, and perhaps having to change them all back if we ever re-reinterpret the openssl licensing terms. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
