Fooblah. Debian is about systems integration; GNU fileutils is an Essential part of that system. Do you want to ban the use of install -p, features of GNU Make, $() in shell scripts etc.? debian/rules not only can but should assume it's running on a Debian system. Unless someone wants to advocate the use of BSD cp because of it's streamlined and feature free implementation? -- James -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
