No no, that's really impractical - the applications man, the applications! We need a list for each package! You can't ruly home in on your questions of interest until you have dedicated lists for each package. Sometimes, those lists should have a repeater which copies each message to a corresponding upstream list (I'm thinking mutt for example, but I'm sure there's others). so mutt-debian-users@.., postgresql-debian-users@... etc. There should probably be some combo lists but rather than as you suggest for distro version, they should be for combinations of packages. > That might make for more lists, but it could be workable, and, more useful. Should be enjoyed by many, and even _more_ useful ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
