2 MB is the installed size, i.e. the space that it takes on your hard drive after unpacking. :) The .deb was about 700 KB? > I think if it is easy possible, it should be done, because it reduces > bandwidth.

BTW, I am only doing non-maintainer uploads. Tommi will probably take over eventually, once he gets his Debian developer status, that is. <grin> The latest wml .deb depends on m4 and eperl. More dependencies and symlinks will come when we finish packaging other components for Debian. <grin> Merry Christmas to you too! :) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
