Do you have a patch for dak to go alongside your script to update all checksums for all binaries across all architectures? What about packages which are the same version in wheezy and in squeeze - now you're looking at making a new point release with all packages across all suites changing checksums. Then once wheezy is out, we'll just have another round with the next release because packages just keep getting fatter. Stop investing time in stop gap measures - we need a durable solution and that is likely to mean dropping GNOME and KDE as an option for CD#1. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
