Sorry, badly worded. People using debootstrap outside of Debian and other distros or other expected places. Especially in hostile environments - IIRC Solaris was mentioned as an example. While we like these people to be able to use Debian's tools like debootstrap, it should not be a priority for us to hand-hold them if that causes too much trouble and effort. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com < sladen> I actually stayed in a hotel and arrived to find a post-it note stuck to the mini-bar saying "Paul: This fridge and fittings are the correct way around and do not need altering" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
