yes. this was i believe why richard lightman implemented depinit in i think it was under 1,000 lines of code. he was delighted when i came up with a simple modification which would allow him to remove a further block of that, out-sourcing the job to a shell script and increasing the flexibility at the same time. unfortunately i haven't heard from richard since.... 2008. he's gone even more reclusive than he was before i met him. which is a pity. we need more people in the world with his level of quiet genius. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
