hey David, SRM have requested that all of these packages use a common string to help make them easily distinguishable from other stable updates. 'etchnhalf' is what we're using for the kernel (note that its 'etchnhalf' not 'etchnahalf'), so probably good for the X packages to use the same convention. Also, I don't think you're working on any packages that are etchnhalf specific, but if you are, you might consider using that in the packagename as well. We'll be doing that for the linux-latest metapackages, for example. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
