Right, but you can instead just supersede that package by a new upload building other binary packages, thus completely rendering the go via ftp-master unneeded -- that was my point. Library name transitions would otherwise always need to go via ftp-master, which would be one big mess. If the name stays like this, next time it'll be log4j1.3, log4j1.4, etc., each time requiring ftp-master intervention. I'm saying the source package should always remain at log4j. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
