I have 2 questions regarding this issue. The questions may be dump because I'm not in the internals of FreeDOS "release management", so I apologize in advance: 1. Why do you need a COMPLETE list of all latest packages? Why isn't it sufficient to release a FD 1.1 with all new packages which are available and for those which aren't just use the old, FD 1.0 ones? In case you DO need a complete list: 2. Why is this such a time-consuming job? And if it is, is there no better alternative which requires less manpower? Because quite obviously there isn't enough manpower available in FD to finish this job. japheth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
