I never said I'd be unwilling to contribute to such an effort. I simply saw no way that I could possibly be of any use. I'm not exactly experienced in singlehandedly implementing Debian policy changes. I have come up with an alternative where I could be useful, though. If there is a way of getting a list of all package versions with urgency=high that were installed into unstable in the last dinstall run, I'd be willing to write a script to notify the system administrator if any of those packages are installed (and, therefore, in need of an immediate upgrade). Then the sysadmin can pick the packages out of unstable as needed. How's that sound? Alex. P.S. I'm not subscribed to debian-devel, so please Cc me in any replies there. -- PGP Public Key: http://aoi.dyndns.org/~alex/pgp-public-key -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS d- s:++ a18 C++(++++)>$ UL+++(++++) P--- L+++>++++ E---- W+(+++) N- o-- K+ w--- !O M(+) V-- PS+++ PE-- Y+ PGP+(+++) t* 5-- X-- R tv b- DI D+++ G e h! !r y ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
