*sigh* My point being the patch is not in dapper, but dapper has 32-bit alsa on amd64. Therefore it's wasn't obvious to me why this patch is necessary to compile 32-bit alsa in Debian. [Yes Debian has an utterly different (and utterly retarded) path for 32-bit libraries, but that's not relevant.] Non-obvious patches that deviate from upstream don't get blindly applied without better explanation. Yes, I could have asked for it, yes Aurel has now provided some additional information, but that doesn't change history. All the fact that it's in edgy demonstrates is that Matthias is more relaxed about adding patches to binutils than I am. -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
