Thanks!
I worry that a NEWS entry is (certainly needed but) not enough, since the result of missing that note may render user data practically inaccessible. My plan is therefore to add a mechanism like the one in mailman package which checks in preinst script and warns if stale queue files exist, with the option on aborting the install or continuing regardless. Time is running out, however, and I could dearly use some help isolating and adapting that mechanism (preferrably with limited changes to user-facing texts to limit the burden on translators). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
