(sarge EOL was in 2008) For build-dependencies I care only about packages part of Debian stable, testing, unstable or experimental. For other package relations I also care about packages part of Debian oldstable. So I'd say no: caring about packages in Sarge but not newer is irrelevant IMO. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
