Linux does have that, too. and having generics, in particular, helped me to port Linux to new arch. but slowing quilt down just for that is not acceptable, IMNSHO. And, why don't we just do compile time check and install shell version of backup-files if we do not support _that_ arch? does debian have to have the shell version in all arch? just my two cents. -- yashi _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list Quilt-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
