Thanks Alon, I know the history, I had a small hope that situation could have been resolved by now. Anyway, I understand that spice is not compatible with 0.10 and therefore we can't link it to the celt in our repository. In this case, I will try to negotiate with the distribution managers to see what we can do to include spice in the repos. -- Emre
