Right. All the distro packagers I've been in contact with seem to know more about these kinds of things than I do, so I'm not going to try to solve things for them which they'll do a much better job of solving themselves. The only consideration I have for distro maintainers is that I don't want any kludge I end up implementing in order to help tarbal users making it more difficult for distro maintainers. > > Personally, I would note the change in release notes and if the user > can't be bothered with properly handling that change, that's their > problem. I'm more inclined to belive that through the miracle of electronic mail, it'll end up as _my_ problem. :-/ > > James > -- > GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
