I think "The default grouping method for package views" is configurable. So it is simple utility configuration default issue. No need to use ftpmaster. It will be nice if ~G tag regex can be created from menu though.... Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
