No they wouldn't - AIUI you'd just sit on your stale jikes-classpath package until you made a conscious decision to install jikes-for-classpath (at which point the old jikes-classpath would be uninstalled). With the epoch solution, the upgrade is completely automatic. Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
