What does dpkg-repack have to do with it? Those organizations package free software in Debian format and distribute it. In most instances, the packages which are specific to these derivatives have not been incorporated into Debian. Certainly you are aware of this, since you refer to work you have done to try to incorporate these extensions, so I don't understand your earlier statement that you were not aware of the existence of such projects, nor do I understand why you seem to imply that Ubuntu should be treated differently in this respect. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
