I'm tending towards removal, sadly. The upstream diff is indeed rather large and at this stage, rather unwieldy. I realise lots of it is refactoring, but the functional changes would normally rule this out for an unblock. There is a reverse dependency to consider, I just opened a bug to get Michael's comments. libnet-twitter-perl has no reverses. -- Jonathan Wiltshire j...@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 <directhex> i have six years of solaris sysadmin experience, from 8->10. i am well qualified to say it is made from bonghits layered on top of bonghits
