I would prefere this one. But with full description control-lang_teritory.encoding (there may be differences for different territories (Spain - Brasil, France - Belgium ...)) But you can have local description even now. Just change descriptions in Packages file. It works, but it must be updated when Packages file is updated. I did that with czech descriptions on czech debian mirror, but it is not a real solution. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Rohleder [EMAIL PROTECTED] Institute of Computer Science, Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic -------------------------------------------------------------------------
