As I remember, the original reason for using 'r' in update version numbers was that (in contrast to '.') it didn't make CD vendors think they had to throw out and re-press all their existing stock of Debian CDs every time a point release was issued. I think that rationale is still at least somewhat valid. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
