Oh very few, I admit. Of the ones that I can think of a version number at the moment where that number is greater than 2, I can only come up with Perl, Vim, Mozilla, and Emacs. And of those, three of them are at or near version six (though Mozilla started at 6, and Perl's not there yet). Maybe we could have the Open Source Spinal Tap Rule: They can't go up to eleven. :) > >and Windows can be on 2000, > > That doesn't count I was just teasing, you know... I'm just saying artificial version number inflation could, if nothing else, serve as a good test for future-proof-worthiness. I'm not actually suggesting that we do this for it's own sake :) -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
