Hmm. I see. That's what I was afraid of ;) Well, if I'm doing this right, dpkg-awk tells me that it's only 65 packages that directly Build-Depend on boost, about 7% of which I actually use, and several more that look like they'd be pretty easy to run-test. There are a few packages in the list that are obviously libraries, but none of those seem to have any reverse-dependencies. If you guys can get some sort of boost-1.35 package together, I can see building and run-testing about a dozen of those 65 packages over the course of a week. That still leaves ~50 packages, though--I'll have to give a longer look and see what I can do about the rest. I don't think that I can run-test fslview--I'm not sure how many other packages there are in the list like that. How close /are/ we to a freeze? -- Don't be afraid to ask (Lf.((Lx.xx) (Lr.f(rr)))). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
