Sorry... that's what I meant; don't deb an egg... install it as an egg, outside of the Debian package management system. As an egg, it is under development and not ready for release as a deb. When the software is ready for release, strip the egg package management layer and create a proper deb out of it. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
