The biggest objection to this (we did bring it up) was that currently 3.3.4 has problems in a few places. If you can get them working as well as the latest 3.3.3.1 versions (or whatever) for people in a short amount of time, that might be a worthwhile exception. It really depends on how quicking the X 3.3.4 debs become release quality since I think it would be unwise to agree to release something that's still somewhat broken for a number of people (not myself though, so I can't comment on these various issues people have, only that people seem to have them...) -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer GnuPG: 2048g/3F9C2A43 - 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 PGP 2.6: 2048R/50BDA0ED - E8 D6 84 81 E3 A8 BB 77 8E E2 29 96 C9 44 5F BE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Apple_IIe> anyone seen my 80 column card?
