Actually, I'm more concerned with Apache 2. Berkeley DB 4 and Apache 2 are significant failure points, but I understand the former to be pretty solid already (and most things still use 2 and 3 for now.) Apache 2 gives us a dependency on an unproven web server. Given the ridiculous amounts of importance we have to place on Apache, we need it solid. I'll probably give it about a month after it appears in sid. If by then Apache 2 looks to be stable, then I'll withdraw my largest objection to Subversion. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You want fries with that? * shortc wants to get in one of knghtbrd's sigs one of these days.
