Perhaps you are not aware then, that you can get te 0.99.15 source packages from hamm and build them on bo as a Debian package? Not that I've tried it, but I'm running a bo system with several packages built from hamm source; it's mostly a case of watching out for things like -lresolv -lcrypt and deleting them from debian/rules. The only problems I can envisage are includes of the type <sys/foo.h> where foo.h is a libc6 header; I do not know how easy this can be resolved. -djd -- I told her I was a hacker.
