It sure would be neat if apt-get could just fetch the diffs. I'm sure that 10MB mozilla package I just downloaded has a 1-line change in the preferences file. Is there an outstanding fundamental reason why I shouldn't look into making a diffs system for apt? -jwb

I'm using Python on a Debian machine, and I've installed both the python-1.5 and the python2 packages. I prefer to use python2. Unfortunately, the way the Debian packages are arranged, many of the additional libraries available for python (such as PyGTK) are as yet only packaged for Python1.5. App

New startx behavior in testing?

2001-10-16 Thread Greg Wiley
Since last night's Woody upgrade, startx no longer works as before. Now, it completely ignores ~/.xsession and does not even create a default session if .xsession does not exist which leads me to believe that Xsession is never sourced. This means that the X server quits as soon as it's started.
