Package it in an external repository for the time being, and release it out to sid when 4.3.0 hits sid; there's really no other way to do it. Ralf Nolden has done a woody backport of my packages, but IIRC sarge is glibc 2.3 now, so the sid packages will probably work. -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
