The stable tree is almost identical to the bindist at the moment when the bindist is made. Later on, the bindist remains basically fixed whereas stable gets updates, so the two diverge until the new bindist is made. There are several possibilities to get the information you want. - One is the package database on the web site. - Or you can go directly to the bindist site and look at the directory listings. - Or grep the files /sw/var/lib/apt/lists/bindist.*Packages for "Package: "packagename. - Or use apt-cache dumpavail - Or use apt-cache policy -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
