I would, but the problem is that the snaps are always updated, and the old files deleted, and my QA requires that the sources be always available at the same URL. Hmmm.. are they really deleted, or it's just that the snaps.php.net only shows the recent files? Also, right now Mandrake is in deep freeze, so I can only add new patches if they are fully documented and tested. I just can't diff the cvs with the standard version and apply the changes, otherwise the package won't be accepted. > > Is there a better way?

One last question: is a .phpt file created for every closed bug report, or is it something that only a couple of developers do? Thanks for taking the time to reply to my (silly?) questions, and specially for the prompt replies. =) When you come to Montreal, the beer is on me ;-) Jean-Michel -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
