To be able to put PGP in the main distribution, the master FTP site has to be moved off the US. I don't have a problem with that, as I don't live in the US, but I understand this can be quite an annoyance for many people. Unless of course, the code that *checks* the PGP signatures can be put into the main distribution, which I think is possible, since what funny US laws forbid is the export of encryption technologies -- or something like that -- and PGP signature *checking* doesn't fall into this category, AFAIK. As an aftertought... I realized this problem existed a few months ago when I almost trashed a system I was trying to build a package on... basically, I did something really stupid in a preinst script, and in fact, that's the reason I'm using deb-make now. It protects me from myself ;-) (no, really, I want to learn package building, and it's easier to figure out the not-so-obvious-right-now problems this way) Marcelo Magallón -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
