I like the fact that .iso extension is used for the released images, and only the released images, on the master site. Of course, that point is moot when the images cease to exist on the master site, and are only present as jigdos that generate .iso files, but the fact that the files under potato-test are not .iso files hopefully acts as a "I don't think we're in Kansas any more" hint to people that should be in the versioned directory Cheers, Phil. -- Say no to software patents! http://petition.eurolinux.org/ |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd. http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND
