This is true for the maintainer, but will lead to problems if I make a local specific copy... in that case you'd add a .90 to the debian release number. (.1 on up is reserved for Non Maintainer Updates, but there will probably never be 89 NMU's, so I use .90 for local packages). -- Ted Deppner http://www.psyber.com/~ted/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
