If that's not it, could you please say what you'd prefer packages That's true, but it does mean I can't apply it directly. Well, I don't particularly think anyone should bother generating a new patch. > to be relative to?

That's really not a useful use of anyone's time - the change itself is trivial, it's just that I've been conservative about what I upload in general and when I've had time to look at zlib I've worked on redoing the package (or faffing around with VCSs). I can't remember but I think whatever I last had used the new paths, it's just never seemed important to get it in the archive (or we were in the freeze and there was no way something like that would get uploaded). > On 07/02/12 11:13, Mark Brown wrote: > > we've had dpkg support for this in experimental for > > less than a week, it's not in unstable yet and you're upset that I've > > not been actively integrating this into unstable? > If you'd prefer experimental, that'd be good too.

This was more a reference to the length of time things have been grinding on. I remember multi arch as having been going on since 2003 or something and we're now getting "motivational" mails like the one I originally replied to within a week of dpkg finally hitting experimental. Having said that I think I'm just going to throw whatever I've got over the wall. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
