I had included them, but I can remove them again. Thanks! Peter

I can't think of any reasonably combination at least :) Thanks Wichert. I decided to remove debian-changelog-mode.el's feature of facilitating the insertion of combinations. Usually the version number needs to be tweaked anyway. Peter

I think the list currently is: unstable experimental stable-proposed-updates stable-security testing-proposed-updates testing-security test Some combinations of those are possible although not recommended I think. I can't think of any reasonably combination at least :) Wichert. -- _ /[EMAIL PROTECTED] This space intentionally left occupied \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.wiggy.net/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D |

That's why I'm asking. ;-) I would have assumed stable-proposed-updates to be used, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Greeping through auric:/org/ftp.debian.org/incoming/DONE, I found: unstable testing stable woody-proposed-updates testing-security stable-security And I assume it's next to impossible to make a single upload to multiple distributions like we used to, so I can remove that old feature from debian-changelog-mode.el, right? Thanks much, Peter

Truly, this is worse than corporate-speak. This is up there with good old fashioned big government bureaucracy-speak :-) Say it ain't so, Debian, say it ain't so. Cheers, Luke Seubert
