My mistake. I was looking at the Woody version, not the latest unstable version.

It make the live easier for php-developers. We'll wait and see what the PHP mini-policy comes out with before we go shifting ourselves all over the place, but I think this much is BCP: 1) All PHP code intended to be used by other programs (outside the original package) should go into /usr/share/php directly; 2) No /usr/share/php/<packagename> will be used; 3) Naming conflicts (and there will be some, I'm sure) will be sorted out by dpkg and pistols at 30 paces. <grin> -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16
