I think that is a fairly recent change. But, if the version change is dramatic, e.g. 7.x -> 8.x, then warning bells should go off and there should be a good look at the changes, otherwise I'd expect a change from 7.x -> 7.(x+1) :) But really, you dont't even need to look at the differences, on install because there is a copy made which you can then look at later, using vimdiff (unless the package is vim :) ) -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
