Of course, are you talking about the binary program, or the binary .deb? The binary program in question *did not change*, because its compilation and linkage environment's (effectively) did not. The *only* think that changed here was the dependency in the .deb. Just a twist to consider. Anyway, I guess I didn't mean to start a big debate---I was pretty much convinced after Sven first mailed me that I probably ought to have bumped the version number. I just thought the policy should also be more explicit. Mike. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
