The only problem I see with this 'feature' is when mirror(s) fail to sync (which is I'm afraid not uncommon) and thus we end up linking people to _older files_ while newer files are already available. That is also why my father asked Pete for access to our XPI's, just to do some checks in our own PHP code and link people to the latest version/revision/release(s). -- Michael Vincent van Rantwijk - MultiZilla Project Team Lead - XUL Boot Camp Staff member (ActiveState Training Partner) - iPhone Application Developer _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
