Apologies about my return-path

Earlier I posted two questions and my mail config was broken and set a return-path to an unreachable address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My apologies. (Upon fetching the proposed-updates g++, I also upgraded sendmail and decided to rebuild the sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf files. The new one generates the

Recompiling a single arch package

1999-05-07 Thread Peter S Galbraith
I posted about which g++ compiler I should be using to build for potato (although I run slink). Now it occurs to me that if I rebuild my package and bump up the debian version number, then other archs will need to rebuild too even thought I have not changed a thing in source. e.g. gri_2.2.1-2.dif
