We disagree on the strength of its links. 8-) I don't understand what's keeping apt 0.6 from being distributed with sarge (modulo a new run of non-automated regression tests, of course). The key management issue could be side-stepped by switching from a year-based signing key to a release signing key. I suspect there's some kind of non-technical obstacle most DDs don't know about (wouldn't be the first). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
