Jeff, What I've just done with the major teTeX upgrade is to put a lot of "Replaces" and "Provides" lines but almost no "Conflicts" lines. What this does is enables the user to upgrade without dpkg complaining. Any file which exists in one of the old packages and also exists in the new package is

BTW, did you notice that Apple has released the sources of their X11, and commited to the XFree CVS ? This could end to some interesting stuff, right ? :-) Pejvan Jeff Whitaker wrote: On Sat, 1 Feb 2003, Max Horn wrote: At 5:52 Uhr -0700 01.02.2003, jeff whitaker wrote: Ben: Thanks for the

Ben: Thanks for the update. I'm somewhat at a loss of how to proceed with a 4.3.0 package. Since it contains thread support, it should replace both xfree86-base and xfree86-base-threaded. At the same time, I'd like to merge the -base and -rootless variants. So, the new package should replace x
