I see a worrying trend here. Me too. I think it makes sense to have separate packages for the last n editions, where n is some reasonable number like 2 or 3 (sometimes we get behind in our magazine reading). But after that, why not just one big package for all the back issues, if they must be packaged? > Would it make more sense to instead make an installer that can download > desired issues? (The same installer could then be used for Linux > Gazette, ridding us of many packages.) It makes more sense for me to just use a web browser, but whatever. :-) -- see shy jo
