Having maintained several systems when the default name was changed to include PE, it didn't cause any problems here. Both dependent recipes and scripts picked up the change easily and convenience symlinks made the -- or -0- not something that needed to be dealt with. So I'm ok with either, since -- going to - won't cause any problems in my small part of the world, but it would be another change in the filenames on top of when PE was added in :) Obviously opinions and impacts of the change vary, Cheers, Bruce > > I heard Jama's opinion about it on IRC.
