For the record, Dan also does some of the administration of our main server, and he's spent a chunk of the day tracking down APC bugs :) If I didn't have ISO releases and repo script things going on right now (and I had a second to breathe, heh), I'd take a look at this for you. So... let's see if we can expidite this here... Dan, Xavier, Nagy: what would help in testing this code? Anything Bryan or I could do to make it easier for you all to look at it? I'd be willing to do what I can. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
