Hence my suggestion about "overlaying" updates on top of the packaged files until the packages are updated (obviously not the prettiest way to do things, but might be necessary until Freenet development is more stable (e.g. less mandantory updates with short warning)) :). Won't be a problem if it's our own repositories though. - Zero3
