I was assuming that whoever did it was trying to do something, but the reasoning behind the change doesn't change the result at all - we were not informed of it and the commit messages broke. So as far as we are concerned there really wouldn't be any difference between someone just deleting /usr/bin/mail and you trying to fix something by replacing mail with something else. The bottom line is that there's quite a few projects hosted on fdo, with a lot of people depending on that setup and making changes to it without communicating it very clearly it is bound to break something. I don't want to make into a big deal, because it wasn't but a short email or even an blog just saying "new /usr/bin/mail is coming in, make sure it doesn't break your project" would avoid the whole problem. z ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
