I would still prefer to use a comma-seperated list instead of a space-seperated list as using spaces in directories/files is more common (and AFAIK, using commas is less common). The shell escaping could instead be used for the commas if necessary. -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
