If the trend to put "unsuitable material" in -off packages arises enough, it won't take kids ages to master "grep-available -Pe -s Package '.*-off$'", methinks. IMO, this half-assed proposal will have exactly the opposite effect of what its proponents are purportedly trying to achieve: it will facilitate the Quest For Unsuitable Material. If you add the other, hidden half of the proposal, which was brought up in the hot-babe thread, i.e. creating special versions of the Debian CDs with controversial contents removed and lock you kids forever in the computer room without Internet access, then you have won; you might as well chop their head off, which has always been a very efficient way to prevent people from seeing porn. Otherwise, they will find a place with Internet access and download the -off packages (they might even report bugs so that -off becomes an official task for easier access). -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
