This is only a mild objection (I think this is too valuable a change for me to want to stand in its way), but I am curious why you picked a target name which AFAIK isn't used by more than a handful of existing packages, rather than one of the ones which are common? In the latter case, at least we'd have a head-start on implementation. (If patched is in use by one of the major patch systems today and I just forgot about it, please let me know.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
