I fail to see how a release which was considered current by upstream only three weeks before the deadline for the freeze can be considered ancient by anyone. It's not a lot of time to get a major upstream version packaged and tested. Backports exists to allow for packages which are updated at points where there wasn't enough time to get the new version into the release. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
