I believe universe has not gone into feature freeze yet, so yes, why not! Let us know if you do, and I will make time to test it in the next couple of weeks. Also, would you consider getting the package uploaded to Debian, if you have not done so already? As for the acl patch for get/setfacl, I think it might be too late to push these in Lucid. Plus, main is in FF, so this will have to wait for lucid+1 anyway. There is a Debian bug on the topic, #290874, that has further information. -- Etienne Goyer Technical Account Manager - Canonical Ltd Ubuntu Certified Instructor - LPIC-3 ~= Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings =~ -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
