perl5.8.6 and the seven *586 variants have now been removed from 10.6. I also checked for "586 is the highest variant available", and updated all that were (officially or unofficially) unmaintained for which the update was easy (i.e., not comparable to making a whole new package from scratch due to upstream or version-specific changes). Active maintainers were contacted and have had several weeks to upgrade. Some are not upgraded because they are simply obsolete in various ways. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
