Varies widely from a few days to never. It is not a matter of how long... but if everything is met on deps and then it builds correctly. Some packages are at the end of the chain in a long series of deps... there are a few packages... that are still waiting since early last month (that *I* know of). Recently Evolution wasn't installable in testing, dunno if it is still that way or not... but in Unstable it's been 1.4.5-3 for quite a while. -- greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry
