I think that threads (reporting a tracker inconsistency) on this mailing list should be somehow closed with a confirmation that the problem has been dealt with. Otherwise someone else could think "I'll fix this up" and waste his/her time in looking at the tracker and saying to him/herself "mmmh, but this seems to be already OK..." It's something like closing bug reports, I would say. That's why I follow up myself, when I notice that the problem has been fixed, but no reply has been sent to the list... It's kinda weird, I admit, and that's why I began joking about it... ;-) -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
