We can either hack the 3.x server packages too look in the right place, or have the packages install this symlink. > > > Trying to log in: > > > > Where from? console? xdm?

I don't really know yet how well it works. Your data point is not very promising. > Marcelo, > who thinks he obviously misunderstood what phase2 is. You could read my definition of it, which has been around for months: Phase 2) This phase will occur once I've settled upon a package arrangement and have worked out what I think the most critical issues are going to be, I'll expand my testing model a little bit. I won't release to unstable, but I'll make my test packages APT-able. My target audience for this phase is people who aren't going to panic if things break or work funny. Again, since these won't be official releases, bug reports filed with the Debian Bug Tracking System against these packages will be closed immediately and without comment. -- G.
