Yes, ideally we should be doing this, without imposing on upstream. And ideally, the other distros should be doing this as well so that we can really profit from each other and trivially exchange patches. We're all basically doing the same thing anyway, remember? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "das internet wurde konzipiert, um einem atomschlag standzuhalten. leider hatte kein militärstratege mit der deutschen telekom gerechnet..." -- attila radnai
