Boy, talk about making a point... :))) With dpkg's experimental (and optional) sane support for bzip2, Joey can count me as seconding this if Chris or the other supporters offer a sane transition strategy that doesn't require all packages use bz2. If a package can be gotten bz2 upstream that's fine. If not, I think pristine source is more important. Reasonable transition and encouragement to use bz2 is fine. Require it and I'll get annoyed. -- - Joseph Carter GnuPG public key: 1024D/DCF9DAB3, 2048g/3F9C2A43 - knghtbrd@debian.org 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Knghtbrd> Leave it to manoj to call procmail "puny"
