Indeed. I think this particular issue will be solved if we all just decide to call port releases "Debian", since that's essentially what they'll be. We already call them "Debian m68k" "Debian Alpha" and whatnot, so I don't see that we'd even need to change the nomenclature. > What I'd like to see is actual support for tracking the mainline Debian > archives. For one, that will make security support *much* easier. Agreed, although I don't know how this could actually be done. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
