I wrote every maintainer of every package that build-depended on xaw8 asking if they needed it. I gave them quite a bit of time to respond, and no one spoke up, so I dropped it. Everyone has been informed. I'd be surprised if xaw3d couldn't just change back to xaw7, unless it truly needs the xprint support. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
