amd64 architecture of debian become more and more important. i see very positive development of amd64-port (security support -> http://www.us.debian.org/News/2005/20050811) and know that amd64-port isn't on released ports today (http://www.us.debian.org/ports/), but for amd64-port-user-satisfaction packages should run after upgrade. don't know how we user can help developer get amd-64 port in 'released port' status and how tell package maintainers if theire packages broken in e.g. amd64-port. i need to read some more about autobuilder, to know which packages are broken before i do my own update/upgrade. Thomas P.S. found original debian bug, http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.rc/browse_frm/thread/802bcd811d7fea71/fa4d630adf0bddc5?tvc=1&q=gnome-panel#fa4d630adf0bddc5 so i try to find out how double report from different users can be improved, one in debian bug system, one on this mailing list. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDyiIuFfATG7mfGBIRAiJPAJ99WLKHlMfw4IY9/GlUh1Dr5IgdyACggR+0 9uGfirda6cS7kpM1bsbPva4= =dg5p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
