Or you might be describing a procedure that has since been improved. When sharing example cases, it helps if you also mention how long ago it happened (I sometimes get surprised how much time has passed when checking such facts). For future cases, I suggest to always file an ITP bugreport before pushing a new package, to help encourage ftp team to use that bugreport to store responses/remarks from them - and when that happens we can in future reference the bugreport when sharing example cases :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
