I don't understand that statement. As I understand it, Robert Millan has packaged someone *else*'s changes: those changes that result in Linux Libre <URL:http://directory.fsf.org/project/linux/>. If you're saying that Robert's *packaging* of Linux Libre has already been applied to Debian sid's Linux, I don't see how that makes sense, since AFAIK Linux Libre isn't in sid. Are you saying Robert's changes made not only the Debian packaging of Linux Libre, but also made Linux Libre itself? And that the difference between Debian's Linux and Linux Libre are now applied in sid? Or are you saying that there's *no* difference between Debian's Linux and Linux Libre, except the packaging? Or something else? -- \ “If it ain't bust don't fix it is a very sound principle and | `\ remains so despite the fact that I have slavishly ignored it | _o__) all my life.” —Douglas Adams | Ben Finney
