I'm always for fixing things in mainline. Even distribution specific things may be integrated into mainline if they do not introduce incompatibilities. -- Tomasz Sterna Xiaoka Grp. http://www.xiaoka.com/ _______________________________________________ jabberd2 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiaoka.com/listinfo.cgi/jabberd2-xiaoka.com
