No, we don't. We hope people running unstable report any problems they run into, so that information can be used to improve Debian, and hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem with a future version of the package. (I'm not a Debian developer, so I hope I haven't been presumptuous in saying "we".) There are lots of people who can make useful bug reports or mailing list posts about problems they run into who don't have the time or the inclination to fix every problem they find. > If they can't they should be running stable > or at least testing? Anyone who is willing to deal with problems should run unstable to help test it, so that it can go into testing, and later become stable. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
