When I was using it (a couple of years ago--might be fixed now) it seemed like most of the useful stuff that I wanted (git, mercurial, and others) were unavailable or in the experimental/testing branches. When I then enabled the experimental/testing branches I had lots of issues with incomplete/incorrect dependency chains. -- Alex Esplin -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
