Makes sense to me..
Hmmm, ok. What's the story with source for bo-updates? Obviously changelog and rules changes are required, so a new source upload would probably be in order too. Can we have a standard rule to produce a back-ported package, so that the non-i386 people can do it too? Or since Debian has never formally been released on non-i386, doesn't it matter? Or does any of this matter ? :-) Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
