It didn't last long on the gnu site, a month maybe before it was replaced by 1.15-1. As to why its *still* in debian, where there is a supposed pride in stability and workability, I have NDI. I've been using 1.15-1 with amandas latest snapshots as they come out for about a year now, my locally built copy is dated Jan 16-2005. It should have been removed from debian, and either 1.13-25, or 1.15-1 inserted in its place. But I'm not running the show, I'm just an old fart that like things to Just Work(TM). >-- hendrik -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
