Be fair, Mark. :-) When the distro package works, it *is* good.

Well, that's hardly surprising. I've almost never found Debian package documentation useful. But that's usually because it's unneeded and therefore nonexistent. Still, the result is that I rarely even look for it, creature of habit (or lack thereof) that I am. Is the Debian packager here? Or maybe we (== me FVO me in "sometime in the summer *if* I'm reminded") should go talk to them, and suggest improvements to the package (for example, their debconf procedures and the post- installation caveats that are displayed). Maybe improve documents (including our own -- our web pages should detect Debian/Ubuntu and Red Hat/Fedora hosted browsers and display big "You probably don't want to read this, read your distro's docs instead" warnings!) ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
