No, it's still the package of the day... and an hour from now, a *different* package will be the package of the day:) > I agree, and while I think its a cool idea, the hourly thing is too > much pressure man! sheesh I have enough to do already without seeing > what the next poth is ;-p > A Don't complain, or I'll make it update every ten minutes! If anyone's curious, the reason I did this is that there's so much software for debian - about 17,000 packages in i386/main - that there are probably some you would find interesting or useful, except that they get lost in the haystack and you never encounter them. I read a post once in which someone bemoaned the passing of dselect, because it highlighted newly-minted packages. With apt*, he rarely knew of that new software, unless he just stumbled across it. I thought that was a pretty good point. -- Peace, Aaron Maxwell - http://redsymbol.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
