If that's correct, a developer who tries to package binaries for every distribution has chosen a difficult task. A few organizations (such as Mozilla) can do it, but it's a big deal. If a developer asks that all distributions synchronize libraries isn't she wagging the dog, getting it kind of backwards? .025 -Bill _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
