I guess my question could also be phrased: what is the criterion for an updated package being placed in stable, and if I want to keep up with security updates and bug fixes do I have to track anything else that the default locations? -- Harry Henry Gebel, Senior Developer, Landon House SBS ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
