A feature like that should be implemented upstream and not shipped as a downstream patch in Debian. Please file a bug [1] at http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=avrdude and continue any further discussion there. I've CCed upstream so he is informed of this issue. Cheers, Michael [1] Please keep me informed when you have filed the bug upstream, so I can link the Debian and upstream bug for better tracking. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
