Sure. The exact version numbering isn't overly important. People who put multiple back-port repositories in their apt config may get results that don't work well, but that's just a mistake anyway. Just make sure that your repository is in some way internally consistent and can be differentiated from other repositories and everything will be fine. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
