Well, we have done this for sarge in a much more extensive way when all we had was discovery to work with. Udev beeing a very important piece of software which is the cause of many troubles recently, and given that you are unwilling to support such backward compatible fixes, i suppose this probably means that you would be willing to accept a (or various) comaintainers who would be willing to maintain those workarounds. All that is asked is that you don't oppose such workaround to be implemented. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
