If your package is available for people other than yourself to download, I would definately suggest pretending it's in the archive, and update versions accordingly. It also gives your eventual sponsor history for the package, providing more evidence as to your commitment and skills, especially over the long term. (Which is important, so that your package does not get sponsored once, then bitrot.) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
