Binary packages have a cost. They are useful when they have additional dependencies (that are optional for the main package) or when better sharing is achieved (typical cases: -doc, or -common packages). Maybe other cases. > If you are asking, why not the python version instead, I already said My remark was not related to the python version. I was just wondering if unison-fsmonitor could be provided by existing packages instead. Since this needs to go through the NEW queue, I will take the opportunity to create a package co-installable with the one in stable, as Vincent suggested. Cheers, -- Stéphane
