Sounds reasonable enough to me, I guess. I think our main concern over on the Debian side of the aisle is that this will be a sticking point for conformance; we want to have LSB support, and we'd like to be as close as possible to full support in woody, and be fully conformant for woody+1. (Not that we officially have any woody+1 release goals beyond contining the pre-FHS symlink phaseout.) Anyway, if people on the lsb-spec list want to see how close we are to conformance (IMHO, of course ;-), the place to start is the start of the thread (lsb-spec got on a few posts in): http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200202/msg01335.html and what I have so far (including a few minor fixes) is: http://people.debian.org/~lawrencc/lsb_1.1.0-2.tar.gz Chris -- Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.lordsutch.com/chris/ Computer Systems Manager, Physics and Astronomy, Univ. of Mississippi 125B Lewis Hall - 662-915-5765
