Simple replacement would be a natural goal. I don't think it makes much sense, though, for a beta test implementation, particularly when the result is that you have two separate packages delivering conflicting versions of a single file, and thus potentially stomping all over each other by accident. Once the project integrates, it can just replace the entries in the existing packages (removing the old implementation) and deliver that way. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
