Ahh, I didn't realize that locking would still work if I avoided that (I think cvs used to put some global locks in CVSROOT, or something like that - maybe it was a history file issue...) Also, didn't know about cvs co "-c" to get a list of valid modules. (Is there a project page with some conte

libgd-dev vs. libgd1g-dev?

2001-03-05 Thread Mark W. Eichin
The woody branch build-depends on libgd1g-dev. This is potato's 1.7.3-0.1, whereas libgd-dev is woody's 1.8.4-2. Should the build-depends be changed, or is there a specific reason to stick with the potato version? diffs follow. _Mark_ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
