Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. -- jwz more seriously, though: it seems that this upstream already has a fairly antagonistic attitude towards debian, are we sure that we want to include their software in a stable release? http://lamsonproject.org/docs/faq.html read past the part about "mime strippers", which sadly does not mean what one might think (i believe he meant MIME strippers, though the imagery did make me chuckle). and on to: How do I install lamson on a Debian or CentOS server? Debian and CentOS are notorious for being dinosaurs. Both distributions of Linux suffer from the false rationale that older software is more stable and secure. The reality is that the stability or security of a piece of software is not a function of its age, and in many cases the newer versions of software will typically fix many stability and performance problems. Despite this fact, these two variants of Linux are notorious for back-porting patches from later versions to older versions rather than just using the newer version. sean
