Fwiw, it's quite fine to get overrides changed throughout the release cycle -- it's even preferred because *if* there are issues, they are discovered early instead of last-minute. That said, I think it's good to use --resolve-deps by default for testing/unstable, so that override changes aren't that urgent (they don't break daily builds etc every other day), and can be batched up a bit, and processed when the dependency graph is a bit stable. Which may very well be only possible in the second half of a release cycle, but doing it really last-minute seems unwise to me. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
